Today I started my spare computer to make sure it gets the various upgrades needed to keep it current. I do this every few weeks.
This spare is the only computer I have that works with BDIS-2009, the others will only work with 2008.
Imagine how pleased I was to see BD do a large update followed by a sad little BD Icon telling me that "I have never scanned my computer" and asking eagerly to "FIX" the problem. Of course I've scanned it and of course I clicked "Fix" and un-surprisingly, BD will no longer do scans. I'm so delighted, now I get to again be a tiny part of the vast and unpaid BD debugging staff, the real BD Victims.
Tell me, What the ###### good is an Internet Security software if it can't scan for viruses? I'll bet that a Scam-Ware scanner would ring loud bells if it scanned BD-2009.
I'm done with dealing with BD. I'll try to last until my remaining license expires but don't hold your breath. Since January I've never once had a single call to BD Support answered. Please don't suggest that I call now. Please also don't tell me to remove and re-install again either. BD is selling crap-ware and expecting people to buy and use it. Not only that, BD is expecting their Forum people to be able to offer repair advice for problems that seem un-fixable.
For now the only relief I have been able to find is to Downgrade to BDIS-2008. It works! Updates always work and I can even do virus scans. My license key works on either 2008 or 2009, try it if you also are having evil spirits of BD-2009 living in your computer.
I realize that fixing software can be hard but maybe it was released way too soon?
Norton 2009, here I come.
