I'm new to Ubuntu, a complete rookie. I'm using Ubuntu 15.10 64-bit. And I'm trying to install ESET NOD32 anti-virus on Linux desktop, the 64-bit version of course. I just downloaded the file eset_nod32av_64bit_pt_br.linux (I'm Portuguese).
When I execute the file, the console pops up. I enter the password but the console says it's wrong and I know it's not wrong. The error I am getting is: wrong password, command failed to execute, Aborted (core dumped). I even tried this tutorial.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers!

You probably don't need an anti-virus if it's your personal computer. GNU/ Linux has a different permissions model and there are way less threats for your client GNU/ Linux based computer.
The extension .linux sounds funny to me. I would look for something which ends with .deb!
In case you really want an anti-virus for Linux, I would go for Avast: be sure to take the amd64 version if possible. Visit this official repository: and take this file: avast_2.1.0-1_amd64.deb which is currently the latest.
Else, look for Debian in dists, since Ubuntu is based on Debian an is compatible with it.
