At first i didn't have antivirus on my Ubuntu 14.04, but a day later my friend sent a email about the antivirus that works on Ubuntu. "Avast" He say, therefore I immediately installed it.

After seeing the results, I was not so happy. I thinks was not as good in Windows. I decided to remove it, but i dont know how?

How to remove it ?

EDIT

Using terminal to install it:

wget http://files.avast.com/files/linux/avast4workstation_1.0.6-2_i386.deb

sudo dpkg -i avast4workstation_1.0.6-2_i386.deb

(Thanks to Rinzwind for suggestion)
