Conflicts With Windows Mobile Device Center?

Sal Khan

Are there any known conflicts with Bit Defender and WMDC?

My computer keeps randomly disabling my connection between WMDC and my Samsung SCH-i760. Sometime it'll work for a month, sometime 2 days. Each time I have to go through a typical VISTA song-and-dance to get it to work. This time, nothing is working and I can't figure it out.

I've tried manually adding the running apps to the firewall list even though it doesn't give me a notification about it, but that doesn't work.

I'm going to try and do it one more time with everything disabled and see if it works, but I wanted to see if I was missing something.

Thank you.

Well, I can say with 99% certainty that BitDefender is causing some problems with WMDC.

I went to a friends house who has wireless and the Firewall created a new traffic profile and requested new exceptions when I ran certain applications. The Bluetooth and USB syncing did NOT work at home, but it DID work when at his house.

So I reset my firewall here, at home, and Bluetooth sync worked... for a while.

Then I restarted and it stopped syncing again. Which means I'll probably have to do some song and dance again to get it to work.

I've tried adding all the WMDC apps I could to the Traffic Profile but it still doesn't work.
