Hi

Can anybody help me out that why BDefender aborts the Registry Operation if not allowed within 30 seconds of Registry Alert Pops-up.

Its very urgent because due to this my installation is crashing

Thanks

This is the default behavior. If no action is taken when an alert is displayed, the action is blocked (this happens to all alerts, including virus alerts, registry warnings, firewall questions, and so on...).

When installing a software, you can just temporarily disable the Registry protection, and re-enable it after you're done installing.

G'Day Sankulp and Chris,

Observations installing application software and other OS systems and updates.

Where some deny that Bitdefender Internet Security (BDIS), Total Security (BDTS) any version since 8 up to 2009, and for that matter any other IS program, causes interference when installing software or Operating System and or updates on Windows XP Pro or Home up to SP3, or Vista or any other MS OS - THEY ARE TALKING THROUGH THEIR NOGGINS !

We perform Operating System and application Software installations all day long !!! - and have noted that while BD Firewall is running, it will cause any application Software that requires validation and or access to the publishers site for verification, to generate a BD firewall popup - and YES, if you do not respond and action the popup within a prescribed time it will block the access and the completion of the installation in 99% of known cases. Very annoying to say the least, in that it prevents us performing multiple other tasks on other PC's, needing to monitor (watch) an installation.

Hate to also tell you that disabling, Permanently and re-booting, or otherwise, the Firewall does not stop some of these software installation Internet access popups !!

Like the versions of NortonIS and other like IS software, who also remain active, disabled or not, and cause the dame disruptions to application software installations, i.e. they stay resident and active whether you like it or not.

The method we adopt for Software Installations is dependent on the number of items and what it is we need to install and the known duration (time it takes) of the installation, when some can take 2 to 3 hours to complete. If there are more than 3 major Items, like MS Office 2007 suite, XP SP3 and say an Adobe CS3 Suite, (all from secure original publishers CD or DVD's) then it pays to uninstall BD or any other IS program and reinstall it again after the other installations are updated and completed.

The newer Internet Security software programs all behave much the same.

Nowadays most publishers as part of the installation of their software, require some form of access to their site for verification, validation and or authentication of the software and keys in an attempt to stop Piracy.

Unattended software installations are not possible anymore in the majority of cases. It gets to be a nuisance when you do installations all day long, however a User who only does this once in a while, monitoring the progress of an installation that you may perform is not a bad idea and obviously installing legitimate software should not be an issue when the BDIS or other Internet Security IS popup appears, knowing that it is due to the software installation and therefor "Allowed" within the short time.

The other method we adopt when installing new PC systems, is to install all other OS and application software and updates 1st, and then install the Internet Security Suite that the customer has chosen, last. In this way the individual software installations have few user input requirements and will run unattended in 92% of installations after the initial parameter setup input.

Trust this is of some help with future installations that you may perform.
