Thanks to Bitdefender email support the issue has been fixed. This is good news. Thank you, Claw, for patiently pushing this issue forward.

Windows 8. How do I repair? Windows -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features (Programs->Uninstall a Program) -> Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition -> Uninstall/Change -> Repair Installation (But I choose CANCEL, because everything seems fine here.)

Good day Can to change update frequency of virus signatures? Every 12 hours, 1 time per day etc. Thanks Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition applies updates automatically if they found after checking for them. That may happen every hour or shortly after restarting the system. Disconnecting from the Internet is the only way…

As andrei112 stated, there are no controls for scheduled scans in Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition. Automatic scans happen on internal schedule every week for the deep sweep, and every couple of days (or sooner!) for the quick sweep. Please note there is no full scan schedule, the deep sweep is not a full scan. There is…

Google chrome got a good malware and antiphising defence based on virustotal.com..thats why google bought that site.... You cannot trust them. Think twice before giving your privacy away! Where do you think Google's money comes from? It's from the same pocket that funds Facebook, Twitter, etc. Where do you think their…

No Icon to open not able to uninstall - what else do u need to know?? tumla Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition works very well in Windows 8. It will not work properly if there is conflicting software. You should make sure there is no other antivirus software (Windows Defender does not count) present, active or not, before…

I just installed the free edition of Bitdefender and it doesn't seem to be willing to do anything at all. I have Windows 7 and have used other Antivirus programs without an issue, but when I right clicked on my C drive, as well as several other folders to do a scan Bitdefender added them to a queue and then just sat there.…

Hi all, I just downloaded Bitdefender free edition and when i went to login to MY BITDEFENDER i received a error. - Error: The connection to the server has failed. The product could not be activated. Check the connection and try again. Any Ideas on what is causing this. I use Vista Home Edition and Google Chrome browser.…

Maybe the site has now been whitelisted? The site does load for me as well but I never went there in 8.1. I'll try it on my Win 7 machine that hasn't been upgraded (and probably won't be). Interesting, it seems you're right. The site gets blocked by BD in Win 7 but not in 10. Good catch. BD needs to be alerted to this…

Hi, Im on windows 8.1 and there is a popup asking me to log on every 8 seconds. This popup refreshes every 8 seconds as well so it just wipes the form data preventing login. You can't copy paste the login info either. Is there a fix for this? Once the trial period expires, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition starts nagging…

Everything seems to be working here. How do you know that HTTP scanning isn't? I would be very surprised if Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition had any trouble on Windows 10 with regard of scanning files (including HTTP scanning) or monitoring the file system. I would await a word of confirmation from Bitdefender® regarding…

OK I reinstalled Bitdefender AFTER I stopped every service I could, and did it all again and sent this (worthless) screenshot As stated clicking about (or anything from the popup menu) does nothing at all I also redid the log .zip file with their tool and sent it. I have seen reports of the interface not showing. Usually…

Another poster said he had installed BD 2015 Free. I was just wondering if such a thing really existed. http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=58679 Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition was actually out in the year 2012 (December). The last version was released in the year 2013 (October) and it was greatly improved…

So the About in popup menu does not work? (RIght click the icon in system tray and select about = nothing happens. No Small panel no nothing! I find it hard to see that is normal - but I will check with this tonight When I installed it on a XP machine it had a lot of ways I could tell it was working. "About" should show up…

Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition is normally quiet and should appear to do nothing. It only notifies when there is a problem, e.g., a threat is detected, or after completing a Deep Sweep (a weekly auto scan). It should also notify the beginning of a requested scan, or the end of it. If a scan is in progress, there should…

... After all, the link is labeled as if it is for a different product For the same update version, the signature number can be very different between the link in the earlier posts and Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition. While the link reports: Update time: Tue Jun 16 19:53:55 2015 Signature number: 5038297 Update time…

I am glad you posted the solution for your problem. I agree it is a great reference (and warning!). Thank you very much.

The thing is, I do have encrypted files, but they are from well known programs and games. Almost all of them are from a game called "Tera Online" which has a ton of users and never reported as a threat. I'm not sure why they are encrypted honestly, some of the files are just .txt files. Also, the last time I did a complete…

An On Demand scan has completed. The scan took: 02:44:49 Files scanned: 1174625 Infected items detected: 102 Files known to be clean: 236200 Scan Paths Path Status C:\ completed Scan Results No infected items have been found. Which one is true, and why do they say different things? In my experience, you should see a list…

... Nevertheless at some moment I found the update version in Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition was one step ahead of that reported by the link in you post. ... As an example of that I wrote earlier, as I write this, Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition has in the its LOGS: Bitdefender has updated its virus signatures. The…

Have you guys noticed after this update prob, Bd free now doesn't updates to the latest & always couple versions behind. ... http://download.bitdefender.com/updates/bi...gins/update.txt ... That seems to be the case often enough, as I write Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition received update version 7.60984, while the link…

On my network, I have a machine running Logitech Media Server; a squeezebox. I am trying out Bitdefender Antivirus Free 1.0.21.1099 on a separate machine (my laptop) and found that when the Virus Shield is active, my desktop application Squeezeplay -- which acts a player for the music server -- can't connect to the…

It finally updated, but after restarting my computer. I have been doing that often to see if it triggers the update, it appears that finally did the trick. Now I will wait a couple of hours to see if the updates remain regular or if I will have to wait three (3) more days I got update version 7.60960, but I just checked…

Again, no more than a day for updates. Already I feel like my Windows start gnaw worms, rootkits, backdoors, Trojans and encoders. Do not throw us on the high seas teeming cyber infection. First they eat our computers, and then get to our tender meat and devour our brains. It finally updated, but after restarting my…

Hmm... Still no response for what is a major issue. No announcements. Just silent removal of protection. BitDefender users who don't look at how often their AV updates (most of them) are at risk. BitDefender Free has 2% of marketshare. This means that you guys managed to expose 2% of worldwide computer users to immediate…

Hello. I contacted the support and they told me I was going to see a new version of the antivirus when you leave win10. Greetings. Thank you for the information.

See the Announcement: Bitdefender Forum Rules - Read carefully before posting. There is a point about references to ... I personally think the current layout of the interface is very practical

There are instructions on the Bitdefender Free website that indicates that one can schedule the scans but I can find nowhere in the program to do so? Also can the virus update be scheduled as well? Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition does Auto Scans but it does not provide control for the schedule of those or for what will…

... The virus detection of Bitdefender Free doesn't work properly in some cases. ... If you would like a test about this bug dowlnload LOIC from SourceForge and WinZipPortable from PortableAppZ. These are hack tools not viruses! But Bitdefender engine say on VT page: malware. ... I uninstall Bitdefender Free and Install…

Okay. In that case, can bitdefender free do well without them or do I have to install them separately? I could see that SafePay has to be installed separately. But what about the Traffic Light addon. Is it required? If so, does that mean that the bitdefender free does not even offer basic internet security? Bitdefender…
