Hi,
What would be the best way to upgrade my AV Plus 2017 to the 2018 one?
Thanks
If you want to install it you do the following:- uninstall version 2017 then restart the computer;- uninstall Bitdefender Agent;- Go to Bitdefender Central and click on my DEVICES. Wait until you see the BITDEFENDER INSTALL button at the top;- Click the button and download the installation file.- start the installation and follow in the window if the desired language is checked;- Adjustments are almost identical to the old version.
Thanks Mindrucencu,
Just out of curiosity, I went to Bitdefender Central and WITHOUT uninstalling previous 2017 ver., I downloaded the "new" supposedly 2018 ver and after it completed the download process, I discovered that it was again the 2017 version instead of the new 2018, so I guess the UN-installation of the 2017 ver. before attempting anything further, is obligatory
Thanks again !
Or you can use my procedure posted here:

Updating the Bitdefender application from one version to the next is a real nightmare because all your settings are lost. For example in version 2017 I configured ransomware protection with about 20 trusted applications. After the upgrade i have to redo the complete process. About one year ago i proposed Bitdefender to build in an option to export the configuration or at least keep the configuration when updating. Nothing has changed so far as i experienced today when updating from 2017 to 2018.
