Bitdefeder Free Av Issues -avckf.sys - With Privazer

Options

I’ve been using PrivaZer , a PC cleaner and privacy tool, for quite some time. I’ve never had any problems with Privazer and I like it very much.


After purchasing a new Windows 8 laptop and reading wonderful reviews about BitDefender AV, I decided to try BitDefender Free AV. After two days of using it, I’ve had very strong intentions to purchase BD Windows 8 AV.


I was really happy with BD Free AV until I decided to install my favorite Privazer. My 5-day old Win 8 laptop crashed. I contacted Privazer to tell them about my issues. They advised me to wait, just in case, two more days for a new Privazer upgrade (Privazer customer service is the best). Two days later, I downloaded and installed a new version of Privazer. As soon as I tried to run it, my Win 8 crashed again.


The message on the blue screen said, "Page fault in nonpaged area avckf.sys". I’ve googled “avckf.sys” and found out that it was an Active Virus Control Kernel Filtering driver for BitDefender.


I’ve uninstalled BitDefender AV (without any problems) and went back to Avira AV. As soon as BD was uninstalled and Avira AV was installed, I ran Privazer. NO ISSUES. NO PROBLEMS.


I also got a response from Privazer’s Team saying about a lot of issues with BitDefender 2013 AV.


I truly wanted to “love” BitDefender but those nasty little bugs proved to me that BD is not ready for my computers.

    Thank you, Christian.


    Just because of your prompt response and, also, a quick response from BitDefender Customer Care, I've purchased two AVs : Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013 and BitDefender Windows 8 Security.


    I'll try both AVs on my computers.

  • Thank you, Christian.

    Christian,


    I've installed BitDefender Windows 8 Security without any problems. What a beautiful interface and overall.


    Tried to run Privazer, and my computer crashed with the same message.


    I've got that dmp file but cannot attach it. It says, "You don't have a permission to open this file".


    Please help.

    Christian,


    I've tried to send you the download link to my BDSP file on mediafire.com but got the following message:


    "This message can not be sent because the recipient has their personal messenger disabled or they are in a member group not allowed to use the personal messenger.


    This personal message has not been sent."


    Is this your way of saying "customer service"?


    Next, after receiving a VERY prompt response from you, I've purchased Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013 and BitDefender Windows 8 Security. My Win 8 crashed again.


    To sum up.


    1. Installed BD Free Antivirus, which crashed my computer while trying to run Privazer. BitDefender was informed, but no solution.


    2. Installed Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013. Running Privazer, BD crashed my computer. I informed BD customer service about the problem and received a ticket number via email. I emailed my .dmp file to them and received a very strange answer - a messed-up gibberish nonsense:

    =======================================================


    3. I installed BitDefender Windows 8 Security. Tried to run Privazer, but my computer crashed again.


    I will not give up complaining until BitDefender decides to fix that glitch.

  • Christian,


    I went to http://www.bitdefender.com/support/contact-us.html to file my complaint about the crash but could not find BitDefender Windows 8 Security among the products.


    How could I file a claim about the purchased product, BitDefender Windows 8 Security?

    Christian,


    I've received two tickets about my Privazer issue:


    Ticket ID:201301041042573] New open ticket


    [Ticket ID:201301051013712] New open ticket


    I've decided to resolve that issue by placing Privazer in the Excluded Processes list.


    Right now, I am generating a new BDSP file on a different issue and will post it in the new thread.


    Thank you and please wait for a new BDSP file.
