Virus Shield Often Swiched Off After Starting Win 7 Sp1

Dear all,

From time to time I experience this problem that when I load Windows the Bitdefender Free Virus Shield is swiched off. When I try to swich it on nothing happens. Usually I fix this with restart but still - it quite annoying problem.

Windows' Action Center also warnes me that it is swiched off.

My system is Windows 7 SP 1

Bitdefender free v. 1.0.21.1109

Thank you in advance!

  • Hello Stalik,

    Please ensure you remove any other security solutions on the machine.

    Also please remove the product and run a System File Checker and then reinstall from the website.

    Let me know if the issue occurs afterwards.

    So.... I uninstalled Bitdefender Free, than ran System File Checker which found corrupted filec and fixed them, restarted, downloaded BD free from website and when I tried to reinstall it got this:

    The "Driver Setuo Failed" is very annoying - it doesn't want to go. And in the "Download Error" window "Retry" doesn't give any result.

  • Hello,

    Please try to run the installer on a Administrator account or use "Run as Administrator"

    Let me know how that goes for you.

  • This above is with "Run as Administrator". :(
