Red Ball In Sys Tray Gone

On one of my computer, the RED BALL in the sys tray is missing (I think Bit Defender is work , but not sure). I removed BT2011 Total Security with removal tool and followed directions elsewhere in the forum, then reinstalled. Red Ball showed up but then disappeared again when I re boot. Sometimes there but not reliablely


Any ideas?

    Hi I had that problem too and found the solution here: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=5095

  • Under the link the decision to ХР is given and how to solve a similar problem on Win 7?

  • Hi Ohiotrader,


    Follow the steps explained in THIS article then send me a PM with the generated log file.


    Looking forward to your answer!

  • Hello again OhioTrader,


    The analysis of the logs is now complete. The reason of the issue you encounter is the TuneUp Utilities installed on your PC. This software has a real time protection module with the process: TuneUpUtilitiesService64.exe and the driver:


    \??\C:\Program Files (x86)\TuneUp Utilities 2010\TuneUpUtilitiesDriver64.sys.


    Because of this driver running, the BitDefender real time protection module and driver could not be loaded. Also I have noticed you have multiple registry cleaner, uninstaller software and other antispyware / antimalware software. Why you keep all those software installed when all of them are doing the exact same thing ? It's just a waste of space and resources.


    The only one you need to uninstall in order for BitDefender to install correctly is: Tune-up Utilities. Uninstall it from "Programs and features" in Windows Control Panel then restart the PC.


    I have created a ticket and sent you instructions via email on how to correctly reinstall BitDefender. Ticket ID: 201012221011771.


    Please confirm via forum/email that the issue is now resolved.


    Kind regards,
