after bootup, (I only use firefox), firefox is very slow- won't open. Maybe bitdefender is updating, dunno, only been using for a few days. Few to many min. after boot firefox is relatively normal, but windows and many other programs freeze or are sluggish. am srsly thinking about uninstalling and going back to avast.…

I am in the same position, we have an XP machine that only gets used for light home duties and emails, the wife does use it to pay bills and it is the only machine she is comfortable with. The PC is in perfect working order and I don't see the need to dump it just because Microsoft will no longer support it, also I am…

Just to clarify things here, can you please post the version number that you currently have installed? This topic is more than six months old. I hope that clarifies it for you.

Clearly, it is changing the boot sector (and the partition tables?) of the drive to give you the multiboot option and then, if everything works correctly, restores the boot sector. The question is: what happens if something goes wrong, the program locks up, BSOD, whatever.. and the program does not clean up after itself?…

Greetings! Is it possible for BitDefender to take advantage of Windows 7 Firewall in any way? That is, is there any advantage to turning on the Win7 Firewall or Windows Defender? I am using build 17.26.0.1106. Thank you for your help! George Like the others have said, I would definitely NOT have Windows 7 Firewall or…

Wow, it is true what they say about bidefender support. Looks like I will not be purchasing any bitdefender products for the foreseeable future... Technically, this isn't Bitdefender Support. This is a public forum. If you want to set up an email ticket and contact Customer Support directly, you can do so here:…

I have a very similar problem. Installed Bitdefender Internet Security 2014 (EN-M1) on my son's laptop and sent him off to college. Yesterday he experienced the same problem: both google chrome and IE could not access the internet. However, his online game worked fine. Disabling the firewall and the browsers worked. Even…

Hey, thanks for your helpful post. XP is a supported system and I was not asking for peoples thoughts on what they think about windows XP. Which still has around 40% of all desktops. So dropping support would be dumb. So I think I have stabilized the system. Let's see. 1. Turn off auto updates. 2. Turn off active virus…

Hi, my laptop which is running Bit Defender Total Security & Windows 8.1, seems to be blocking me playing a video to my Xbox One. Right Clicking the file & selecting Play To Xbox One. i get a brief pop up advising that Bit Defender is blocking a port scan & the file doesnt play. I am hoping someone can help me configure…

Yea, neither of those really applied in my case. It's my development laptop so it takes a good 5 hours to do a full scan so I start it up Sunday morning and let it run. I have no scheduled scans on it. I do have an eSATA drive attached but it was live from boot, wasn't plugged in during a scan. Eventually I just paused my…

Sure I have other programs loading, at boot up. But as I stated in my previous post, (my config is still exactly the same, program-wise, and other), this slow boot up never happens with avast, which I've used for years, and it also never happened when I recently beta tested ESET, for 6 months, just bitdefender. Well, it…

Installed trial on 3 separate systems. This issue is happening on all 3 systems. had to "turn off" the auto update on all systems. When Auto updating, crashes all network connections and requires a reboot to get network running again. I searched for this issue and came across several posts of people having same issue…

Okay I am having problem with installation of Bitdefender total security 2013 which i bought few days ago.The main problem is while I try to install the software almost the whole process of scanning,downloading and installing runs pretty smoothly until a notification comes which shows that i need to restart the browsers…

I'm running on a Toshiba laptop (plugged in). I've manually started a System Scan from the 'Scan Now' menu. It runs fine for a while and then I notice the 'Autoscan' message pops up and the laptop goes into full meltdown mode, fans screaming and things getting very hot. Is it supposed to do this? Doesn't Autoscan detect a…

hello i installed bitdefender is 2014 on a loptop a week ago, i today removed my device(loptop) of my bitdefender. now how i can add my device (loptop) to my bitdefender? I don't think you necessarily need to add your device to My Bitdefender. You device is added whenever you install Bitdefender. So I suppose you could…

Why does it start automatically when Windows starts despite i've turned Wallet off? It might not happen on all systems or installations. I'm not having this problem, so it very well could be system or installation specific. This is the Bitdefender 2013 forum, so I'm assuming you might just have Bitdefender 2013. With that…

I joined specifically because; I am experiencing this issue with BIS, just installed recently. Been using avast on 4 pc's, 1 desk top,+ 3 laptops, and never had booting nearly this slow, on my win 7 laptop. (It boot_s up relatively fast on my desktop w/ xp...) it's at least a full 25-30 seconds of black screen, before…

Come on Christian response to this! We are the one that still stuck on a buggy program. Hey, Pushkar Gogte did respond with the correct localization link. I'll repost it. It's right here: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=38098

Hi , I brought one BitDefender through some online shopping, and i installed it successfully. surprising after updating virus definition i am facing issue like failed to connect to internet. Then i observe that one text message like "Bitdefender Services Are Loading, Please Wait..." showing in system tray icon. until and…

I have recently renewed my BD on my computer with OS XP. As Microsoft is not supporting XP after March 8 this year, will BD antivirus plus be sufficient to prevent people taking advantage of the unsupported XP ? If I decide to abandon my old computer, can I transfer the time left on my licence to my wife's laptop that is…

Additionally, just to make sure, if you want to set a password, I would suggest to copy paste from notepad. Not manually. Actually, I would NOT recommend that. See, if you copy/paste from notepad, then there isn't a guarantee that you will actually remember the password. Remember, you can't access Notepad if you haven't…

Malwarebytes should detect and remove it. Also there is a program called adwcleaner from a French company called Xplode. Its pretty good at finding all kinds of things hiding in your browsers and elsewhere. Worth a try. Malwarebytes is a joke. You'd be better off using Windows Defender.

I am using Bitdefender Anti-Virus Plus on a Windows 7 machine. It appears that Bitdefender let through a virus called adware.agent.nxr. After my problems started, I ran a Bitdefender scan and the report stated that this virus was present (in my Windows\temp directory), but that Bitdefender could not remove it. I have since…

Yes, as I pointed above, I have done all of that. My question is when Bitdefender Data Protection will work? So far it did not protect from leak via usual means like Chrome file upload. And from help you kindly provided, Rohugh, I can see that Bitdefender Data Protection works only on http, not https. So when http is used…

I received the new SSt Drive today and installed it with a backup from 3 weeks ago. So far everything works and the computer is fast again. I did have one brief slowdown were the event log showed one error: with the \Device\Video 5. I have no clue. The devise manager showed no issues. The Driver for the video card is up to…

I have a paid version of Bitdefender 2014 Total Security and have recently reformatted my PC, now i don't remember where i downloaded it from the first time but cant for the life of me figure out where to re-download it. I feel like this should be very obvious answer yet your site COMPLETELY lacks the links for such a…

Captain Obvious, I am not too concerned about what the government/NSA does with my emails, probably would put them asleep. Verizon is my IP along with their over priced TV and phone bundle. Awesome post. Sorry for the digression, but you see Verizon is also my cell phone service provider (due to the fact that I get a 50%…

Hiya, They removed the possibility to run a scan from CMD. You will need to run a manual scan from GUI: Antivirus panel -> Scan now. Geez, and I thought my username was Captain Obvious. What exactly did your post add to this conversation besides misinformation?

No replies yet. Kindly resolve my issue. I can't work smoothly Have you tried contacting Bitdefender Support directly? You can set up an email ticket with them here: http://www.bitdefender.com/support/consumer.html Also, you are eligible to upgrade to the new Bitdefender Internet Security for free. You can download it…

Bit over three weeks from my first post and no one has any suggestions past my firewall setup? Come on, someone out there has to have experienced a similar issue before. Sorry for the delay in response. To back up what rickyjm said, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus does NOT have a firewall. This means that it cannot block web…
