I just upgraded my Windows 7 PC from Total Security 2018 to Total Security 2019. I received the following notification after the upgrade:
When I launch my browser (Chrome), I also receive a message that I am unsafe.
Here is the message I received in Chrome:
I finally got the update to work by following the instructions on the following link: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/10643/ Had to edit my Stealth settings for my network adapter by disabling it. Odd thing is, after the update I turned it back on and the next update worked fine. Go figure.
In order to access some of my usual websites (one was Facebook) that were not loading, I had to disable the new Encrypted Web Scan listed under Online Threat Protection.
Hi, Regarding the error in Chrome, can you try the following? - press Windows start button and type certmgr.msc, then press Enter
- select Trusted Root Certificates > Certificates
- right click on Certificates and choose All Tasks > Import
- press Next > then Browse to C:\Program Files\Bitdefender\Bitdefender Security\mitm_cache\fake-ca.crt > press Next again
- click Automatically select the certificate store > Next > Finish
Then check if websites load with Encrypted Web Scan enabled.
I tried your suggestion. Unfortunately, it did not work. I had to disable Encrypted Web Scan again.
I want to mention that I had no "Bitdefender Security" folder. The fake-ca.crt file was located in C:\Program Files\Bitdefender\Bitdefender 2017\mitm_cache. Even though I am using the 2019 program, the folder says Bitdefender 2017. The file is dated 22/09/2018.
I uninstalled Chrome and then downloaded and reinstalled Chrome. That's it! It took only a few minutes and now Encrypted Web Scan is enabled and I am having no problems with sites not loading.
Arrgh! I rebooted my PC and once again I could not access some websites in Chrome. I had to disable Encrypted Web Scan again.
