Bd Ie 2010 Firewall Problem With Vmware

Greetings,


I am having problems with BitDefender Internet Security 2010 firewall. Today I installed VMWare Workstation 7.0.1 on my laptop which runs Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit. After the installation and setting up of my virtual machine, my BitDefender firewall suddenly turned off by itself. Whenever I tried to enable it, it would give me a message "Failed to communicate with the bit defender security service." I tried restarting my computer but I kept on getting the same message so I finally uninstalled VMWare and the firewall started working properly again. Is there a fix to this or are they just not compatible?
