Bitdefender Definition Updates On Auto Detect Proxy Networks

I have Bitdefender Internet Security (have no idea what version as it doesn't seem to easily show the version anywhere.


I can update the virus definitions fine on my home network (which has several firewalls, IDS etc), however on the corporate network I am using at the moment it fails. When doing a manual update it just hangs for ages and then times out with an error.


The corporate network is likely to have proxies in place, but they are set to autodetect in the default browser. The proxy settings in Bitdefender are set to import from browser.


I can ping update.bitdefender.com without any problems.


Is there an issue with BitDefender interpreting the proxy settings when they are set to autodetect?
