Hello!
Yesterday i had an unpleasant event with BitDefender IS2008 64-bit edition (evaluation version).
I use Bitdefender 9 Pro for quite some time now but due to the lack of full compatibility with 64-bit systems i was becoming unsatisfyed (no ON-Demand scan, no anti spam feature) so i wanted to try the IS2008 version for 64-bit system.
I started off with uninstalling old BD - the usual procedure. After the BD IS2008 installation i restarted the comp and thats where the nightmare begun.
Windows starts up - everything seems normal - but as soon as the starting logo fades and the real initialization begins the system restarts. The worst thing was it was present at all possible trys (safe mode, safemode with prompt, ...). After disableing the 'Restart on err' feature i got the hang of whats was really happening. After the Logo start the system treminated Win due to some memory leak done by a procedure or something - i got a nice blue screen.
Ofc at the moment i didnt think that BD had something to do with it so i formated the disk and reinstalled a fresh copy of Win XP Pro x64 (2003). After the system was back up again i tryed again with no other programs on, just basic clean Win and BD IS2008. After the installation - again everything fine here - there was this boot problem again. Right after the logo initialization i get a nice restart - again.
So there i go another format and clean install but this time without BD IS2008.
Anyone faced the same problem? Is there any way to avoid this and get a 64-bit ver. of BD on my comp?
Best regards,
Mike
