Firewall And Windows 8 64 Bit

I have Windows 8 pro 64 bit. Bitdefender 13 firewall cannot be monitored along with any network adapters or wifi connections. I have contacted Support and they seem to have lost interest in solving the problem.

I have reinstalled the software several time already, following supports recommendations....NO LUCK.

Any ideas?

The firewall monitoring works perfectly on win7 64 bit.

Thank you!

For sure, that is an issue with OS. By the way, what version of BD do you currently have on?

I have the same problem with 2014. The firewall does not detect any network adapters or activity. Also if I try to change any of the advanced firewall options, I get a "Bitdefender Firewall Error: Failed to communicate with the Bitdefender Security Service!". And it's been like this all the time.

I started using Bitdefender with 8.1 Preview and it had the same problem. Then I thought that I'd do a clean install of Windows 8 but I still have the same problem. And I do not have any other security software installed, although I'm really starting to miss ESET Smart Security which I've used for years before this.

I have the same issue here. I can't tell if firewall is on or off. This is driving me crazy and support is helping at all. Please fix this issue. W7 64bit worked perfectly but W8 64bit is having problems.

Hello,

@ olavinto

That error message appears when drivers are not installed properly or Bitdefender does not load correctly the firewall library.

I will need a diagnostic tool to see what is wrong:

If the file is too big to attach, upload it on

and post the download link.
