Bitdefender 2008 Antivirus Deleted Safe Files

Hi Everyone,


I had 2 software installation files that BitDefender suddenly deleted . They have been on my computer for years, but after the latest update, BD decided they were malware. The funny thing is, I didn't have my BD real time protection settings, set up to delete "infected" files, just move them to quarantine. After a full system scan, I selected to restore the files from quarantine, and then the real time protection immeaditly deleted them.


Is there anyway to recover those files ?

    Hi Everyone,


    Here's some more info :


    Today, after updating BitDefender Anti virus 2008 , and running a full system scan I discovered that BD anti virus 2008 considered my PG2 beta 6c set up .exe file to be a Trojan, generic 84997.


    And BD also thought that a Free Commander 2007 .10 set up .exe file was also a generic trojan,87692 .


    These files were on my computer a long time, and only after yesterday's update, did BD consider it infected.


    I was able to use the Handy Recovery software to restore the deleted files.
