  1. Your instructions are out of date and therefore incorrect. As of this moment, the correct/current instructions are found at:
    http://download.bitdefender.com/repos/#

    -- and they are as follows:

    As a service to our Linux-using customers we provide the following software repositories:
    DEB repository

    Add the BitDefender repository key to the list of apt trusted keys:

    wget http://download.bitdefender.com/repos/deb/bd.key.asc
    apt-key add bd.key.asc

    NOTE that the second command must be run as root or by using sudo
    Add the following line to the /etc/apt/sources.list file:

    deb http://download.bitdefender.com/repos/deb/ bitdefender non-free

    Refresh your apt cache by running:

    apt-get update

    or

    aptitude update

    Install the desired BitDefender packages using your prefered apt front-end
    For example:

    apt-get install bitdefender-mail

    apt-get install BitDefender-scanner-gui

  3. that last line should instead be:

    sudo apt-get install bitdefender-scanner-gui

    (Note the case-sensensitive corrections that were made.)
