update error
hello, my friends.
I have update problem and need your help.
my win10 laptop installed 'bitdefender total security', and it got update error for days.
”update error... please check your internet connection and try again."
I tried update it with or without an VPN, all failed.
The weird thing is under the same WIFI network at my home, my macbook which installed 'bitdefender antivirus for mac' has no update problem, 'update completed successfully' evey 10 hours without VPN.

Hello, Gjoksi. Thanks for the help.
I followed the Reinstall method you mentioned.
After restarting my laptop, I got this
Still, 'check your internet connection and try again'.
Then I don't know what to do. So I went to Bitdefender Central and removed my device (this laptop), trying to 'Add a new device' (this laptop).
You see, I have no connection problem about visiting Bitdefender Central website and downloading the installer.
BUT, when I was running the installer, I got the SAME picture telling me 'check your internet connection'.
Now I don't and can't have Bitdefender on my laptop....
please help me.

Hello @Timothy1024,
Restart your PC and then right click on the Bitdefender icon in the System Tray and select Update Now once again. If this doesn't return the desired result, click on the Notifications button from the left menu and select All. Check for update error codes and tell us if you can find any.
In order for Bitdefender to update the computer must be connected to the Internet. Bitdefender updates as soon as it manages to successfully download the update files. In the event no network issues can be found, a 3rd party firewall might be blocking Bitdefender updates. If this is the case, add .bitdefender.net and .bitdefender.com to the 3rd party firewall's exclusions list. This means that any URL ending in .bitdefender.net will be excluded.
You can also try to update Bitdefender’s threat definitions offline by following the steps described in this article:
In the event the situation persists, kindly contact the Support teams for further assistance using the link below:

Let us know how it goes.
