How to uninstall Avira antivirus from Ubuntu 14.04?

I installed Avira on my Ubuntu now. These are the commands I used to install Avira:

wget
tar xvzf antivir_workstation-pers.tar.gz
sudo ./antivir-workstation-pers-3.1.3.5-0/install

After installation I tried to open Avira by searching it in the computer, but its not found anywhere. Because of this I want to uninstall it. How to uninstall it ?

From Official Avira Antivirus man:

Uninstalling AntiVir.

You can use the uninstall script, located in the temporary AntiVir directory, to remove Avira AntiVir Server/ Professional. The syntax is:

uninstall [--product=productname] [--inf=inf-file] [--force]
[--version] [--help]

where productname is Guard. Open the AntiVir directory:

cd /usr/lib/AntiVir/guard

Type:

./uninstall --product=Guard

The script starts uninstalling the product, asking you step by step, if you want to keep backups for the license file, for the configuration files and logfiles; it can also remove the cronjobs you made for Guard and Scanner.

Answer the questions with y or n and press Enter.

Avira AntiVir Server/ Professional is removed from your system.

If you have an older version without uninstall script, delete these files as root:

sudo su
rm /etc/avserver.conf /etc/avguard.conf /etc/avupdater.conf*
rm -Rf /usr/lib/AntiVir/
rm /usr/bin/antivir*
