I've recently installed a game called Batman: Arkham Asylum using Steam. Every single time I clicked on "Play", the game crashed with this event log error:
Faulting application name: BmStartApp.exe, version: 0.1.0.8, time stamp: 0x00000000
Faulting module name: BmStartApp.exe, version: 0.1.0.8, time stamp: 0x00000000

After searching and testing for a couple of days trying to find out what was causing this issue, I've finally found that if I disable the Active virus control in BitDefender 2012, the issue disappears.
So based on that, I have two questions:
1- Assuming BitDefender is preventing BmStartApp.exe from running, why BitDefender does not give me a warning message about it? (Autopilot is off)
2- I added the BmStartApp.exe in the Excluded processes but it doesn't seem the work (process is still crashing). Do I need to reboot for this feature to work?
