"active Virus Control" Is Disabled

grayghost2

In BIS-2013 "Active Virus Control" is OFF

I cannot turn it ON, the On/Off control is disabled

I do have a a Custom "On-Access scanning"

What alerted me to this situation is while looking for "Create a Restore Point" in Win7 Control Panel ...

Control Panel> Action Center

Virus protection (Important) (panel)

... there is a message

"Bitdefender Antivirus reports that it is turned off"

- the action control [Turn on now] implies my AV is off/disabled

Do I have a problem ?

In the same panel is a link "Turn off messages about virus protection"

- what does this do ?

- I am not brave enough to click the link,

- past experience with MS Security was a total shambles requiring a clean install of Win7 to stop Windows nag messages every time my laptop was booted (cold-boot, re-boot)

I would appreciate any help

Bitdefender Internet Security 2013

- updated today

- I believe I am entitled to upgrade anyway ? I must do it!

Win7 Home Premium 32-bit

Hello grayghost,

I am surprised you are still using 2013, you should upgrade to 2015, it is free and easy to do and you can use your existing license key.

I think one of us is getting a bit mixed up here greyghost.

If you want to upgrade to 2015 you need to download and run from the installation files here - http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=54672 When you run the installation it will detect and uninstall your 2013 version, reboot your pc and then install the 2015 program. It should automatically apply your license.
