[resolved] Warning - Mac Version Cannot Be Uninstalled

A warning to all (potential) Mac Users evaluating bitdefender Antivirus for Mac:

bitdefender Antivirus for Mac cannot be uninstalled

The provided uninstaller ****** does not work AND bitdefender staff is not providing any instructions for manual uninstall. They seem to be in stealth mode . This problem is known since the beginning of August 2011.

See http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry125561 for (a bit) more information.

We've tested what you reported and the uninstall ****** works properly but with one note: it must be run twice and reboot the system after each run.

Lucky enough the german support staff found this bug reproducible and sent me a link to a working bitdefender uninstaller.

German support also told my to run it twice and reboot in between. But I did not find this documented in the german or english user guide nor on your website.

Thanks for your help. But I am with Kaspersky now.

Thank you for your feedback.

Do you have a ticket ID created in the system?

I want to know about that solution discovered by the german team.

Have a nice day.

Unfortunately I'm facing the same problem. I can't remove 'Bitdefender for Mac' from my iMac. Downloaded the latest version from the website (January 4th, 2012 18:40), tried to UNinstall the software but it installs immediately. Reboot between the two sessions as advised but nothing works!
