Anyone know how to install Bitdefender Internet Security (not Lite) alongside Qustodio?

ericblake

My child's computer has Qustodio for parental monitoring but does not have an antivirus solution which was why I purchased Bitdefender. Two programs for different purposes. But now Bitdefender says it can't be installed unless I uninstall Qustodio. Any solution to this? It says I can install the Lite version of BD but I don't want just monitoring. Anyone know how to get around this or just need to return BD for a different AV solution? Thanks!

Hi @ericblake

Are you able to export your Qustodio parental settings to make what I'm about to suggest, easier? If so, maybe consider uninstalling Qustodio, then installing Bitdefender, then installing Qustodio and importing those settings. Chances are there wouldn't be any conflict in doing it that way, but if needed, you could add that program into Bitdefender Exceptions. Bitdefender just wants to make sure it gets a clean install, thus that notification.

And just so you know, with Bitdefender Internet Security and Total Security, it also includes the Parental Control feature.

Otherwise, if you're running a trial version, simply uninstall it from Apps. If it's the paid version, you have a 30-day window in which you can get a refund.
