Privacy Control Issues

tsume

System:

Windows Vista Basic 32bit Service Pack 2

Bitdefender Internet Security 2010 - Expert Mode; Upgraded from Internet Security 2009 (correctly done)

Problem:

My Privacy Control was set at aggresive and at random times after swithcing on my computer, the cookie and ****** settings have been reset. So when I start using my internet browser Bitdefender would ask me if I should block or allow the cookies and scripts on a webpage, even on webpages which I have previously visited and set the restrictions . After the fourth time this happened I decided to switch the Privacy Control back to Default but then this allows all scripts to be enabled, which on some websites just ends up using up my bandwidth. This never happened with Bitdefender 2009 so this might be a fault with the 2010 version.

Can anyone please help me with this issue?

Thanks

Hello tsume,

In order to further investigate this sittuation please follow the steps bellow :

1. After your Privacy Control rules will reset please browse to the next location from your system :

C:\Users\Aurelian\AppData\Roaming\BitDefender\Desktop\Profiles , look after Cookie.xml and ******.xml , upload them on http://www.sendspace.com/, then send me a PM with the download link .

This location is hidden and you may need to follow the steps bellow in order to access it :

- go to your "Control Panel" and open "Folder Options";

NOTE: On Microsoft Windows Vista you will apply the same steps except for selecting "Display contents of system folders".

2. Obtain a support tool report and reply to our email with it attached :
