Windows 8, Explorer Crashing When Accessing Usb Drives

Good day,


I have had the strangest thing happening to my windows 8 pro, after installing Bitdefender Total Security 2013.


When i inserted all my flash disks it would crash explorer.exe and take me back into windows start menu, although it would not do it with an external hard drive. I could not even immunize the disks. I loaded it on 2 desktop pc's running windows 8, and a laptop running windows 8. And all three systems did the same thing. So after a long battle of a about a week i finally formatted my laptop installed windows 7, and Bitdefender Total Security 2013. After installation i could access all my disk and immunize them. Then stuck it back into windows 8 system and it was working fine from there, i could access my drives again.


Is there any known bug on this subject? Or is bitdefender total security 2013 incompatible with windows 8?


Regards, SardukaR
