Update Reboot Required

Options

This is the first time to use Bitdefender and have total security 2012 installed. Every time an update is performed


I am required to reboot the computer and even if I do reboot the next update I am prompted to reboot again.


I will get about 60 prompts a day to reboot probably more because i will delete the threads regulary


So frustrating I had Kaspersky before this and was only prompted to reboot once every couple of months.


Any sugestions to fix this?

    Hello,


    Lse: - Registry Mechanic 10.0 installed;


    Please uninstall it then repair BitDefender as explained below. Check to see if the issue persist and let me know.


    - click on the Windows Start menu button;


    - go to All Programs;


    - go to BitDefender 2012;


    - click on Repair or Remove;


    - follow the on-screen instructions and restart the PC each time you are requested to;


    - check to see if the issue persist: Right click on the BitDefender icon in the system tray after the repair process has finished then restart the PC;


    - check for BitDefender updates again and see if it will request for another reboot. If so please post a screenshot of that message.


    Looking forward to your answer!

  • Hello,


    The problem is not fixed. Reboot required after every update. I disabled all alerts in bitdefender window setting. I do not know that it is OK. I hope that this will be fixed.

    I have the same problem, among things not working properly. I also run Reg. Mechanic. Are you saying I must remove REG MECHANIC from my computer in order to use Bitdefender?

  • Yes, as DanyDan's post that you quoted, states. Running multiple security programs can cause conflicts and affect system performance as described HERE.


    You can run some other security programs as long as they don't have any real time protection. For example, I am also using the FREE version of Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware which does NOT have any real time protection module and it does not conflict with BD.

    Reg. Mechanic is NOT a "security program". I have asked for a refund because I have exhausted myself trying to gain control over the 2 computers that have Bitdefender 2012 installed.
