Bitdefender Pchooklaunch64.exe Error
Comments
-
This error window popped up in the middle of working on MSWord.
pchooklaunch32.exe - No Disk
There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive E:.
There were no disks in any of my drives and I wasn't doing anything to access a disk drive. The only other applications running were Outlook and IE.
Just loaded BD internet security 2011 yesterday. I am not a techy user. I want the problems to go away, or a download to make BD work right or my money back.
What are you doing about all the problems BD?0 -
Hi voipboy,
Sorry for our delay. Can you attach a screenshot with the error message you are receiving, please ?
How to take a Screenshot:
1. When the window is on the screen please press the "PrintScreen" key ("PrintScreen" is located at the top of the keyboard, at right. At this step we can not see anything, as the picture is copied into Windows's clipboard);
2. Open a graphic editing application (We recommend using the standard Paint program, that comes with every Windows installation (Start > Program > Accessories > Paint));
3. Paste the picture in a new Paint document;
4. Save the file in JPEG format.
Thank you!0 -

Well,
I've tried it another way.
I did the following
This is on Win7 Dutch. 64-bit
Start => All Programms => Bitdefender 2011 => Repair, Change or remove.
There I chose Repair and Bitdefender repaired itself and since then there is no Pchooklaunch64.exe error
But, i did what you said.
Bitdefender updates (final update ok)
The language from bitdefender is Dutch.

Hi Alex,
Adrian, a colleague of mine, sent you an email and explained the situation on January 31st. The fix will be released on all languages, including Romanian around 15th of February. When you try to update you get the message 'No updates available' ?
Hi DanyDan, i also got the same problem of error, could you mind to lead me how to fix it?
your co-operation if very much appreciated,
thanks and regards,0 -
@skeddan - to answer your questions:
1) In the Windows System Tray next to the system clock, right-click on the red BD icon to open the context menu. Then left-click on 'About' to display the build number and other information.
2) To update to the latest build, again in the Windows System Tray next to the system clock, right-click on the red BD icon to open the context menu. Then left-click on 'Update Now.' This will update both the BD program and the virus definition files.

Hi Every body,
Up to last week BitDefender was giving me troubles with the icon in the system tray becoming gray and slowing down my computer up to require more than 10 minutes to turn it off.
I have followed the step I found on the forum to uninstall BitDefender (with Uninstall Tool), clean the system registry and reinstall BitDefender.
Now everything is working smoothly, except for pchooklaunch32.exe. After 30-90 minute from the moment I turn on the PC, it regularly crashes; these are the details of the error message:
AppName: pchooklaunch32.exe AppVer: 14.0.28.74 ModName: msvcr90.dll
ModVer: 9.0.30729.4148 Offset: 0003523b
I have installed BitDefender Internet Security 2011 Version 14.0.20.351 running on Windows XP SP3.
My PC is a AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4800+ 2.51 Ghz RAM 960MB
My main question is: Is my PC protected when pchooklaunch32.exe crashes?
Enjoy your week end.0 -
Hello,
Yes, the PC is protected. The pchooklaunch file is associated with the Parental Control traffic filtering. Lets first generate the Support Tool logs (first regular step in troubleshooting any type of issue) and analyze it. I have created a ticket on your behalf with ID: 201103211007604 and sent you a possible resolution via email. Please let me know if the issue is resolved after you replace the file.
Looking forward to your answer!

Please follow the procedure below to have BD tech support investigate your issue further.
1. First please unplug the Internet cable from your computer or disable the Wireless adaptor if you are using one. This prevents the supporttools files from being automatically uploaded.
2. Click on Start and then choose My Computer/Computer.
3. Browse to:
C:\Program Files\BitDefender\BitDefender 2011
- considering that BitDefender was installed on the default C partition
4. Double-click on the supporttool.exe file - if you are using Vista or Windows 7, right-click on the supporttool application file and select Run as Administrator
5. Click on Next, wait a few minutes for the progress bar to complete and then click on Finish
6. A file will be created on your desktop. Please move it to a location of your choice (i.e. move it on your c:\ drive)
7. Reconnect your internet cable (only after you have moved the file to the new location)
8. Upload the created file HERE
9. Include a detailed description of the issue you are encountering and a screenshot of the error message, if there is one.
10. Send a PM (Private Message) with the download link to DanyDan of tech support. Include a link to this topic and give him as much detail as possible about your PC - exact symptoms, hardware (CPU type/speed, Memory installed, etc.), OS and version, 32-bit or 64-bit, any other security software installed or previously uninstalled. Any other relevant configuration information.
It may take several days for them to analyze the files and respond depending on their workload, so please be patient.

Hello,
I have the same problem.
My build is 14.0.28.351.
I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 32bit.
My system is "clean" (no programs installed) because I've just installed Windows.
I have a HP notebook - Dual-Core 2.0GHz, 3GB RAM.
Thank you!

I am running BitDefender Internet Security 2011 on Windows 7 64, Build 14.0.28.351. I randomly receive a pchooklaunch64.exe Unhandled Exception error. Is there a fix for this?

I struggled three times with installing BD 2011 total Security, and finally just downloaded the offline and installed it. Worked through the install, now I get this pchooklaunchx64.exe failure message. Doesnt effect BD in any way it seems. More annoying that anything else, but I googled it and cant find a way to stop it from coming up. Hoping to find some success here in the forums. Does anyone know how to prevent this error from continually coming into my bleak little HTPC world.
