Scan Failed To Execute

Hello RTLG ,

Please try to perform the upgrade to BitDefender 2010 following the steps form the next topic:http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=15001 and let us know if the same issues reoccurs .

Thank you .

I´m having the same issue (I believe it's the same) but I do not get any error message after I try to scan, it just doesn't do anything, and if I try to scan just one file, it completely freezes the whole computer and I have to restart the PC.

I just recently purchased Bitdefender Internet Security 2009, and since the first day I've had this problem, like 3 days aftert installing the product it started working for no apparent reason, now it isn't working again.

I'm using Windows XP Service Pack 3. Can anyone please give me a hand with this?

On another note since I've had the software for less than a week do you think it's possible to try and get a refund from the store? because to be honest this is way too time consuming, I used to have McAfee and I never had this kind of trouble with it, thanks in advance

I decided to download and try Antivirus 2010. I followed the various instructions on what to delete and install. So far I've had no problems and the scans seem to be working according to schedule.

The scan did not come on automatically. I did not turn UAC off first. I'll just keep doing the manual scan each week as I don't want to leave UAC off.

Since my last post, the scans have been working properly. However, every so often, I get a warning box stating I need to reboot in order for BitDefender to finish installing. I did that twice, now I try to close the warning box, instead of rebooting.

We have a patch that I would like you to try - I have sent it to you by e-mail a couple of minutes ago. Please try to use it and see if you are able to scan after running it.

I have the same problem

Thank you .

Hi! I would like the patch too! Please e-mail it to me!

Good afternoon,

I just encountered this problem today. I've tried out the steps in the kb article, and it has not worked. I still have about 40+days till my license expires.

What can I do?

Am running WINXP SP3.

Thanks.

Problem:

----------

The BitDefender Scanner now fails to run on my machine whether started manually or as a scheduled event.

Symptoms:

-------------

1) When I manually select "FIX THIS ISSUE" in the status display, BitDefender produces the error message, "the scanning process was not started in the required time interval".

2) If I do a manual start from 'Manual Start from Anti-virus->Shield->Scan Now', it produces the error message, "Scan Failed to Execute".

3) Scheduled scans likewise fail with "the scanning process was not started in the required time interval".

Particulars:

------------

Version: BitDefender Antivirus 2009

License: Current with 370 days outstanding

OS: Windows XP, SP3 (updated and current on MS patches)

Prior History: no prior problems with scan until about a month ago (~5/11)

Question:

-----------

How do I fix this? Other on-line discussions suggest that BitDefender has been disabled by a virus and that I need to buy another Anti-virus product to scan and remove the virus that has disabled Bitdefender. Is this true? I have BitDefender licenses on 6-7 machines mostly running XP, and this is not a good solution. Suggestions?

Hi, I purchased BitDefender Antivirus 2009 a while back, and initially, it worked fine. But now I've noticed I can't run a scan at all. No deep scans, no quick scans, nothing. I've restarted my computer and tried again, but it still won't scan. Everything else works fine (as far as I can tell, at least). Not really giving me any problems otherwise. Any suggestions?

Hi Jim Wright,

I sent you an email with the patch you need to solve this situation.

Thank you!

I'm getting the same error can you send me the patch? Also why not just post it somewhere so that people don't have to keep requesting it...

Regards

I'm sure you have my email thru the reg, but just to make sure it starts with: public at ch...
