Bitdefender Antivirus Crash

I get an error message of vsservs.exe not running. I've followed the support instructions without success. I can restart the service, however about a minute later it crashes. This is antivirus 2012, on windows 7 64 bit. I see that someone else has/had this issue. Any updates?

  • Please read the resolution in this topic. For user AlexJordan, the cause was leftover remnants of another security program that he thought had been uninstalled. Conflicts from running 2 or more security programs are the most common cause of this type of problem.


    Please let us know the following:


    - Is Windows 7 Service Pack (SP)1 installed?


    - Do you have any other security program(s) curently installed on your PC?


    - Did you uninstall any other security program(s) prior to installing or attempting to install BD?


    - If the answer to question 6 is YES, what method did you use to uninstall each - the program's Windows Start Menu 'Uninstall' function, Windows Add/Remove Program function, the company's standalone downloaded uninstall tool or a third party uninstaller such as Revo Uninstaller?


    - What type/speed processor (CPU) is in your PC?


    - How much memory (RAM) is in your PC?

    Yes indeed, Windows 7 sp1.No other security programs. In fact I've been running the trial version without any issues. I paid for a year and added the licence;then boom! 4 gigs ram. AMD dual core Athlon2-3Ghz. I'm a computer junkie;it's my only connection to the outside world,so having this problem ###### much! :(
