        <description><![CDATA[<p>I've purchased Bitdefender Family Pack to renew my subscription, but I can't install it on my own PC, much less my family's devices. From Bitdefender Central's "My Subscriptions," I click on the installation link and a download file appears. When I open the download file, Windows asks if I want to allow Bitdefender to make changes to my system, I say Yes, and then... nothing. Bitdefender appears to be working on it, but it never brings up further on-screen installation instructions. When I log into the Bitdefender program to try it from the dashboard, it gives me no indication that I've renewed. (Again, I have, as shown on Bitdefender Central's My Subscriptions page. I just can't install it.) What am I doing wrong?</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>I mentioned this problem in an earlier post which stated I had to uninstall BDIS 2011 because it was killing my computer.  </p>
<p>
Well after I uninstalled BDIS 2011 and reinstall BDIS 2010 I was getting a pop ups stating an unknown device needed drivers installed.  Well I didn't install any new devices or programs for that matter and was at a loss as to why this was happening.  Taking some time and looking into that matter I found 3 (unknown) devices (in yellow with question marks) in device manager; so I searched the names of these 3 devices in google.  It came up with links to BDIS. I posted my findings here and asked if I should manually delete these entries but was told not to as it could cause problems with my Bit defender.  Then a fellow suggest I uninstall BDIS 2010 and try BDIS 2011 again as there was an update that fixed a lot of problems.  Hesitant to do this due to all the issues I had earlier with BDIS 2011 about a month prior I decided what the ###### and uninstalled BDIS 2010 and reinstalled BDIS 2011 well that cleared up the notices I was getting to update the drivers for these unknown devices. Unfortunately reinstalling BDIS 2011 also reintroduced and sluggish poor functioning system.  </p>
<p>
So for the last month or 2 I have been running BDIS 2011 and recently after dealing with multiple slow applications and BDIS crashing my system all the time decided to uninstall BDIS 2011.  Well ###### soon as I uninstalled BDIS 2011 my system was back to running like the machine is suppose to run but the pop ups started again and just like before stated I needed to update the drivers of these unknown devices.  Knowing now from my previous experience I ran the BDIS 2010 uninstall tool which after doing so cleared up the issue with in device manager and the pop up stating I needed to update these drivers.</p>
<p>
The a screen of those devices</p>
<p>
<a href="https://us.v-cdn.net/6031943/uploads/ipb_attachments/monthly_02_2011/post-29589-1297996000.jpg" rel=" nofollow"><img src="https://us.v-cdn.net/6031943/uploads/ipb_attachments/monthly_02_2011/post-29589-1297996000_thumb.jpg" data-fileid="%7B___base_url___%7D/applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=7593" alt="post-29589-1297996000_thumb.jpg" /></a></p>
<p>
So to properly and fully uninstall BDIS 2011 I had to run the BDIS 2011 uninstall tool then reboot my computer then use CCleaner. After that I ran the BDIS 2010 uninstall tool then reboot and use CCleaner again.</p>
<p>
I no longer use Bit Defender and have since installed a different Security Suite which I am very pleased with because I again can use my computer normally with out all the hang ups and crashes I dealt with for the past 3 months with BDIS 2010 / 2011.</p>
<p>
Bit Defender your broken, repairs are needed.  </p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Dear,</p>
<p>
After the installation of "BitDefender Internet Security 2011". the laptop of a friend started to throw errors in Windows.</p>
<p>
(actually: on 2 laptops he had a 3 laptop license 1 year)</p>
<p>
The laptop is a Windows 7 (dutch language) with SP1 recently installed.</p>
<p>
The installation itself was succesful. but after reboot the computer started giving errors:</p>
<p>
-when you download a file from the internet or made a copy command (copy paste a local file) the message "No more files" appeared (in dutch: 'er zijn geen bestanden meer'.)</p>
<p>
In the windows log files there where no related error or warning messages present.</p>
<p>
I deïnstalled the product and the computer worked fine;</p>
<p>
is this a know issue? (Maybe incompatibility with dutch SP1) Can we still use Bitdefender after a patch, and where can I find such a patch.</p>
<p>
any information is appreciated.</p>]]>

        <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi</p>
<p>
To days ago I purchased the latest version of BitDefender Total Security 2011 (3 PCs, 2 years) via Amazon Download, but since then I fail to install it.</p>
<p>
Have read already some topics in the forum, but the listed problems seems to be of a different nature.</p>
<p>
My problem:</p>
<p>
I start the installation (laptop - Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit) Windows Firewall and Defender are turned off, current AV software as well)</p>
<p>
License agreement = ok</p>
<p>
Then comes the quick scan = ok</p>
<p>
Trouble starts when I come to the page of entering the license ..</p>
<p>
I enter the valid license, click on Registration .... The window closes, the installation aborts.</p>
<p>
No error message, nothing, it just shuts down.</p>
<p>
I downloaded the Bitdefender 64-bit version again from the resource here, but when I try to install, the exactly same thing happens again.</p>
<p>
Entering the valid key, clicking  "register", window closes, installation terminates </p>
<p>
Any advice?</p>
<p>
Thanks in advance</p>
<p>
(I am German, so please be patience with my English)</p>]]>

When I restart my computer a blue screen pops up with a message about "bdrawpr.sys"</p>
<p>
I know I have a virus that is why I'm trying to up grade to BD, my old AV didn't get it.</p>]]>
