Hello,


Every time I run a scan, any scan, my computer crashes.


Deep system scan leads to frozen PC Crash.


Other scans just crash my system.


Crash doesn't happen at any particular time into the scan or at any particular file being scanned.


What good is this software if it can not perform on a fresh install of Win XP Pro?


At very basic, this software should run flawlessly on a fresh OS install.......


What am I missing other than the money this software cost me and a product that doesn't work?


So for a received nothing but problems from this software and seem that BitDefender has invited more viruses


aboard my computer so they all can have a party on my 2 PC's! For me it seems that Bitdefender has switched sides.


System.


Win XP Pro Version 2002 SP3 32Bit


Foxconn motherboard


3Ghz P4


2GB of ram


2 TB of HDD


fresh OS install of 2 months now.


Have installed:


Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (Not Running)


ComboFix (Not Running)


SUPERAntiSpyware Free Edition (Not Running)


Let me know if you need anything else to help resolve this problem.

    Now just re-installed Win XP Pro FULLY UPDATED TO SP3 AGAIN, installed BD and it says "GOOD NEWS! YOUR COMPUTER IS VIRUS FREE!" Then go to do a scan and it showed me 3 viruses found before it CRASHED AGAIN!!!!!!!!


    What kind of foolish game is this? I feel like the donky pulling the cart only motivated by the carrot dangling in front of me as the carrot represents something I can never get- (a virus free computer with a working BD software)


    I feel really stupid for switching over from Kaspersky cause as soon as I did it seems that all


    ther viruses received an invitation to jump on my computer and rape it willingly.


    Kaspersky was rock solid for me, Bitdefender left me wide open for abuse!


    This is my 100 days plus into my licence experience, and what a terrible experience it has been so far.


    I have lost very valuable files, pictures and other stuff due to BD's inablity to protect my computer.


    Not impressed to say the leaast...


    A former long time Kaspersky customer reverting back to old faithful!
