Javascript And Registration

I just installed BD Free, version 1.0.21.1099, on Win7 Home Premium 64 SP1. I, too, get the javascript error when attempting to register. I read an earlier closed discussion. It suggested enabling js in IE. I just tried that in IE 11 as best I could find a similar setting: Tools | Internet Options | "Security" | "Internet" | [Custom Level] | "Scripting" | "Scripting of Java Applets" (*) Enable (default had been Disable). No luck. That earlier thread had a question from a staffer, asking if <https://my.bitdefender.com/en_us/free/> showed correctly. It does not: just 2 text entry windows and the ubiquitous FB and G+ icons, but no text. What settings in IE 11 need to be changed to make it show correctly, js to work, and presumably, permit the registration to function? Someone in that discussion fixed it using the Command Prompt; but, that should not be necessary for a program advertised as easily usable by the non-tech types.

(I am also a regular Firefox user, who only uses IE when I have to.)

I know Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition uses .NET. On my IE settings for .NET Framework I have Enable for XPS documents (only) and Enable for running all .NET Framework-reliant components (High Safety permission). Would that help?

After putting up that OP, I hunted around the web site, and found a place to register my identity, etc. This was in Firefox. After I logged off/on later, I noticed when I clicked on the "B" icon down in the tray, that that black small BD window in the lower right showed activity in the bottom information box, and then indicated that I was logged in. Hmmm.

Good for you! Please share the address where you registered if different to the one in the your initial message, https://my.bitdefender.com/en_us/free/.

Stay safe!
