Real-time File Protection Disabled

in Bitdefender 2008 products

I recently noticed a small X in the corner that normally shows the file scanning status, and checking Bit Defender 2008 Antivirus, it said my real-time file protection was disabled. Flicking the "Fix" Link and nothing happens. Going into settings it shows the scan being enabled. Doing a quick google search yielded a link to an old topic in this forum which recommended reinstalling by downloading the download kit again. Problem is when I click on MY PRODUCTS and DOWNLOAD KIT, it links only to 2010 and nothing else. How can I re-download a 2008 installation kit... or anyone have tips on how to fix this problem?
