Hi, maiffa71

Are you on a LAN and using IE? Try deleting all your temp files from IE via it's Internet Options. Clean what you can manually by Windows search and type %temp% Then run CCleaner in Cleaner mode, restart you PC, and run a BD System scan.

Then try IE again, or use FF or Chrome, set it as your default browser, and see if you get the same BD notifications as you surf.

Kind regards,

Scott

Hi columbo...

Thanks for yur reply

Im using FF. The thing is its occur even if i'm not surfing or open any browsers.

The BD notifications number will keep on increasing by itself.

I already done wat u adviced including system scan on safe mode but with no luck.

Dont know wat to do now.

You're welcome, maiffa71, and thank you for your willingness to try my suggestions.

Lets try running a Malwarebytes Anti-Malware scan. Download it from their website and use the free version (do not enable the free trial of the Pro) run an update, and do a full scan. If it catches something that BD is not able to deal with, then we'll know. Be sure to disable BD On Access scanning temporarily until the MBAM scan is over, just so we don't have 2 scanning engines scanning the same files that are being accessed. To disable BD On-Access scanning go to the BD main UI/Protection Panel/Antivirus tab (gear icon)/Uncheck On-Access scanning until system restart (in case MBAM finds something, you will need to re-start your PC)

If the MBAM scan comes up clean, then we need to run a BD repair (links below), and see if that will resolve this for you.
