BitDefender Antivirus Free Edition does not uninstall/install properly on Windows7
Yesterday I had to do a system restore. For some reason BitDefender does not let my pc complete the restore, so I had to uninstall it. After the system restore was done I couldn't reinstall BitDefender and after a few failed tries to reinstall the program didn't even show in control panel anymore

However when i go to System Care 10 it says Bitdefender Correlation service(Invalid) and BitDefender SecurityService(Invalid). I cannot delete them from here either for some reason

It shows up in my search results as well. No uninstaller.exe or unins000.exe were in any of the folders. I cannot delete any file either. It says i don't have admin rights, even though i am

With absolutely no idea of what to do, I tried reinstalling BitDefender again. Now the installation goes on ,saying its downloading. Then when the install screen appears, it finishes in 2 seconds and the login screen appears, after i log in, the program just closes, with no trace of it on control panel or anywhere else on my pc except here https://puu.sh/yC1gV/314194ac4f.png
My question is: How can i completly uninstall/delete everything related to BitDefender without doing a complete windows reinstall?

Please open a elevated Command Prompt(Run as Administrator) and run these two commands :
"C:\Program Files\Bitdefender Antivirus Free\kitinstaller\BPInstaller.exe" action=uninstall /silent
"C:\Program Files\Bitdefender Agent\installer\installer.exe" /uninstall /silent
If does not help, load the system in safe mode and delete the files and folders manually, I could not find the uninstall utility for the latest version of the antivirus.0 -
it think it worked. Do you think that it is safe to reinstall BitDefender? Do you think i should do any sort of cleanup to be sure everything is fine?0 -
I have tried this method and every other one suggested to no avail. Bitdefender has invaded my computer like no virus I have ever had nor seen! I am very vexed with this software because it just keeps popping up all over my computer in places it shouldn't! Has Bitdefender Free Antivirus turned in to a super Virus instead of an Antivirus? /applications/core/interface/file/attachment.php?id=17569" data-fileid="17569" rel="">Revo Uninstall History Of Bitdefender Removals 01.09.2018_redacted.pdf
