Firewall Popup (all The Time) After Rebooting

trama09

in Firewall

Since yesterday, for some reason, I get a pop up that says: "In order to function properly, Bitdefender Firewall requires a system restart."


I've restarted a couple times and that popup still comes up. I don't think I've changed any settings.


Please help.

    I have been having the same exact issue for the past several days, I would like to know how to fix this too.

    Maybe something happened during an update. But I feel like more people would be asking about it.


    Still looking for help. Its getting to the point where I might just uninstall and reinstall. And if it doesnt work, I am moving on to something else.

    WHY? same exact issue due to a recent update most likely?


    I am using windows 8 and having the exact same issue.

    I've been having same issue. Admin needs to take a look at this. I also believe this is due to update but it's annoying not knowing if firewall is on or not.


    BTW. I tried repairing, unstalling and reinstaling. Nothing helped.

    I haven't gotten around to repairing, unstalling and reinstaling, but I guess I won't be doing that.

    I have done the same myself. I use "Windows 8 Security" version and this popup is there after every reboot even after repair uninstall using the tool and reinstall of the full offline version.

    Well I guess this issue isn't important enough for them to address.

    I think it finally stopped. Good job team. Only took a month.

    The error message stopped but I found a new issue. Can you manually disable and enable the firewall? Now I am finding that I can't disable or enable the firewall.


    The On/Off button under firewall gets stuck in one position. I am not sure if this is just me. Can anyone who was having restart error message please verify.


    Thanks.

    Looks like it stopped after I did uninstall and reinstall. The error message popped up when I rebooted after reinstall but after updating, it stopped. I can now toggle firewall ON/OFF button.


    I'll post if I see the issue again.

    Ok so issue came back after a restart. After playing with things and not so helpful bitdefender support, I figured it out.


    I was running ASUS iNetwork Control in background that prevented bitdefender from working properly.


    So I uninstalled it and then repaired the bitdefender installation, everything is working fine now. I can see the network adapter traffic and enable/disable firewall when I want it. No errors.

    . In the new window that opens, please right click on your cable connection (the one with two screens and a cable) and select Properties;


    . Once the new window opens browse to the 'WinpkFilter LightWeight Filter' entry and select it after which please choose Uninstall;
