Hello, i have a problem with my bitdefender using up all of my bandwidth. I have noticed this happening only after i download files via my download manager "flashget" or if i stream some flash videos online.
After the downloads are complete or after the online streams are complete i can close internet explorer and look at the "firewall" section in Bitdefender it states next to my "current bytes received" (860kb/sec) this is my max connection speed. I am not downloading anything, but bitdefender is showing that i am, also my connection status in Vista is showing me receiving data at my max speed. This only seems to happen after i download or stream something. If i was to turn on my pc and use bitdefender/scan my pc etc it doesnt show any bandwidth being used.
I have a bandwidth monitoring application called NetLimiter 2 PRO this shows that no bandwidth is being used. I have also checked the "Activity" tab in the firewall section on bitdefender and it shows no services using bandwidth. It is only the "bytes received" section under the "settings" tab on bitdefender firewall that is showing the bandwidth being used.
As i type this my bandwidth is being maxed out. It's not bitdefender updating, because the first time i noticed this my pc had already received over 1GB of data, but i hadnt downloaded anything that big.
After i uninstall bitdefender the bandwidth usage stops, this leads me to believe there's something going on with bitdefender.
I have purcahsed the 3 pc / 2 year subscription.
I am running windows vista 64bit.
I tried sending this help message via the bitdefender app twice but i don't think it got through, never received a reply.
Please help..
