E-mail: 15 Days Left To Offer Bd Antivirus To Friends

alt1579

Hi Bitdefender,

I have just received an e-mail from you, inviting me to offer a license key to three friends. The e-mail and links looked legit: the sender is Bitdefender [bitdefender@connect.bitdefender.com] and the links are all starting with https://connect.bitdefender.com....

I have BD IS2013 running and it didn't flag the e-mail or contents.

Before I actually went ahead and send it to friends, I tried to open the link to the software but I get a 404 error.

This is the entire hyperlink:

https://connect.bitdefender.com/pub/cc?_ri_...Lt6yxp662UpTOGM.

It sends me to

http://download.bitdefender.com/windows/in...rp_rid=10052768

and this returns a 404 error.

First of all, is this e-mail indeed legit and sent to me from Bitdefender?

If so, why do I get a 404 error?

columbo

Hi alt1579

I believe it is legit: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=174842 I don't know if it was coincidence, but I received the first notice about a day after I filled out a BD pop up questionnaire.

The link in first email I received to use within 30 days, still works. It seems something was corrupted in the follow up (15 days left) link/notice as I get the same error as you, in clicking on the link. I found that if I copied and pasted the address in the email, into the browser address bar, worked
