Thanks for the link Christian - but of no use to me. Sharing the same problem with Grim Reaper using BD 2012. Have used different BD products for a few years now but this has to be the most problematic version yet. At first I didn't know why pages were suddenly not loading correctly or why I was getting network problems - it was all very hit and miss. Fortunately I have a PC on my network that is not running BD and by process of elimination it became apparent that BD was the culprit as pages that wouldn't load properly with BD loaded perfectly well without.

I am no expert, but after viewing the sorce code of sticky pages, it became apparent that your browser scanner dops in a CSS file and a Javascript file into the loaded webpage - whether the scanner is turned on or not.

As far as I could tell your files were clashing stopping other scripts and CSS from loading properly and being executed by the browser.

Try as I might, I could not find any way to disable this function other than switching to 'Game Mode'. As soon as I did that pages started to load correctly again without the browser scanner being present.

Annoyingly this means more often than not I have to run BD in 'Game Mode' now which is not ideal - what did I pay for? Might as well have just downloaded a free antivirus app and saved myself some money - and while we are at it - a lot of PC resources! Can requiring 1Gb of ram to run really be justified??? I bought my computer and its resources for me - not for you.

Networking needs looking at too - it has not been easy to set up.

I chose Bitdefender a few years back as it was lightweight and had minimum impact on system resources and performance - unlike a lot of its then competitors. Sadly that is not now the case. If Bitdefender is not going to address these issues in an update or new version, we will be parting company, probably along with others I originally recommended it to.

Thanks.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your reply and sorry for the delay in responding to it.

First let me say that there are many good things to be said for Total Security 2012. The new interface and auto pilot is clean and user friendly and one of the reasons for my delay was to let the software settle down to see what issues remained.

As for doing system checks - unnecessary. TS2012 is running on 3 PC's and all have the same issue with web pages loading. Most content now seems to load but pages are still sluggish on all machines. If accessing pages by a search engine it can take an age for the Bit Defender search advisor to report on the search results, THEN it can also take a while for BD to insert its code to report if the page is safe or not.

I have disabled the search advisor to be honest, just to speed things up - its all way too intrusive. Unfortunately the web page advisor cannot be disabled.

To add insult to injury, after all that, Total Security seems to be less than Total as it will happily allow trackers and 3pes for the corporate sector, (Google, Doubleclick etc etc) to load and track us and what we are doing to oblivion. At least one of these organisations is currently being investigated by the EU for possible infringements of privacy and civil rights - and others consider them to be behaving as badly as any n'er do well who might want to hack and attack. I now run Ghostery in my browsers to prevent this - but why should I have to when I have already paid a premium price for your software?

I didn't pay for 'Selective' protection.

Last issue is Update Events. One of my PC's is used mainly for working offline and is only connected when needed for software acquisition or updating. This inevitably leads to HUNDREDS of Update events being reported and try as I might, I cannot stop BD doing this! The danger is that a legitimate event gets buried in all the false reporting.

I would have thought in this day and age that BD would be able to 'net detect' as all other software requiring a net connection has been able to do since the 1980's to the best of my knowledge. In any event, not all of us use routers, some of us still use modems and prefer to have control as to when we connect to the internet.

Fix these issues and BD may well be worth having again, especially if there is or will be a version to run on the Symbian Belle smart phone OS in a all inclusive reasonably priced package for desktops and smart phones together. This will be a deciding factor for me at renewal time as other Security Software vendors already offer this.

Thanks

Hi

I still don't see the point of software trying to update when the host machine is not connected to the internet and then reporting a false positive - that's just plain ridiculous.

As for the rest, I have better things to do than try and garner examples from three separate PC's when the point was quite simple the browser advisor should be able to be turned off on occasions if it is proving to be intrusive.

So on balance I have a better idea - I'll look for something else at renewal time.

Thanks for your time.
