Hi,

I am having this issue as well. It is very urgent that I have VMware working as it is what I primarily use for any *nix-based development, and surprise surprise that's what my latest work project is. If it's not fixed within a day I'll be forced to switch to a competing AV (At the very least temporarily), as work these days is scarce and I'd like to actually finish projects, and get paid.

The part that I found probably the most useful is

but I uploaded the entire log and full backtrace anyway, as it includes a BitDefender file (in partiular: BdProvider.dll).

Also, I'm using Windows 7 Ultimate + VMware Workstation 8.something + Intel Core i7 3930k + 16GB of RAM + an SSD as the boot drive and where VMware / BitDefender are installed.

Hello everyone

Welcome (back) to the forums!

First of all, please accept our apologies for the situation created.

Please follow the steps below to check if the issue persists.

1. Open BitDefender -> Settings -> Update -> here under Update processing rules set "Prompt me before downloading updates".

When an update is performed, you will see a box from which I kindly ask you to choose ONLY Signatures Update (do not perform product updates, otherwise the solution below will be canceled).

2. Restart your computer in Safe Mode:

[How to restart in Safe Mode]

- Restart the computer (Windows Start button - Turn Off - Restart);

- Press the "F8" key several times before Microsoft Windows begins to load;

you need to press "F8" until you will be displayed a text menu;

- Select "SAFE MODE" in the text menu and press "Enter".

- Wait while Windows loads in Safe Mode; this process ends with a confirmation

message; click "OK" to acknowledge.

3. Go to C:\Program Files\BitDefender\BitDefender 2013\ and locate these files: "bdtl.dll" and rename it to "bdtl.dl_", "BdProvider.dll" to "BdProvider.dl_" and from C:\Program Files\Bitdefender\Bitdefender 2013\BdProvider32\ rename "BdProvider.dll" to "BdProvider.dl_"

The last one is only present on 64 bit systems.

4. Restart the computer normally and let me know if the issue persists.

This is just a temporary workaround until the update is released. When the fix will be pushed on our servers, I will let you know so you can revert the settings and everything will function properly.

I am looking forward to hearing from you.

Have a great day!

Hi again,

the problem did not persist. Your workaround was able in fact to go around

Thank you very much for your reply and assistance.

Could I ask what have we done when renaming the files? May be a dumb question, but security and anti-virus is still in place despite the renaming, right?

Cheers,

Hugo

*edit to correct some typos

Tried the solution and here is the results

- The vmware error disappeared, but after opening any vmware, it says it can't cause the vmware authorization service cannot start, tried to start it manually but got an error.

- The web explorers stopped working, although i can ping any ip address through cmd.

Hello

A product update was released. Your build should be 16.16.0.1349(please right click on Bitdefender icon from system tray-near the clock-and choose "About". You should see in the left side the build number).

In order for the product update to be installed, you need to reboot your machine(you should see in the Events -> "Reboot required" under the Update module).

Changelog:

http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?sho...mp;#entry148172

http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=35499

NOTE: if you used the workaround posted on this topic, you will have to revert the changes and the product update will be installed silently.

Let me know if the situation is solved.

Have a great weekend!

Hello

The update was released one hour ago, right now is synced on the servers and mirrors and you will received it in a few hours.

Please be patient.

Take care.

Thanks Christian.

When you say revert, also imply renaming the files back to .dll?

Cheers

Hugo

Hello

@ Hugo

Yes, you need to rename back those files. They need to be in the original state and the update will take care of everything.

@ FOF & Dre'

Thank you for your feedback!

Have a great weekend!

How long should it take for the 1349 build to become available to end users? My install has processed two updates (per update event log), but my build is still 1348.

Called Customer Care to determine if build 1349 can be directly downloaded. Representative had me repair my installation of Internet Security 2013 which re-downloaded build 1348 and informed me there is no method available to directly dl a new build. So Bitdefender does not believe it's necessary to slipstream 1349 into their repair download service to solve a compatability problem with widely distributed IT Pro software.

As an IT manager with budget authority, I doubt I will be recommending their business software for use in my enterprise or any other enterpise I consult with and if build 1349 is not available by Monday afternoon, I will be requesting a refund of my two year license.

Paperclip, no it's not sad, this is a business decision that Bitdefender has made to operate with a sub-standard update system which requires IT'S CUSTOMERS to wait over 48 hours to obtain updates to software which the customer paid for. If you do not like waiting 48 hours for updates to be posted, reply to his thread!

I tried to use US proxy, but the same i can't update, you are really slowing down my work, there must direct link for the final 1349 install, by Monday i will change to Kaspersky, i can't wait any longer than Monday, btw this is my 4th year using bitdefender, but u screwed me twice in vmware, the firewall block (u didn't fix btw, after i contacted support and u used teamviewer, u said it will be fixed in the next build, i can't remember 2010 or 2011)

The .exe has been updated with the latest build

Bitdefender Total Security 2013 16.16.0.1349

http://download.bitdefender.com/windows/in...r_tsecurity.exe

BitDefender AntiVirus Plus 2013 16.0.16.1349

http://download.bitdefender.com/windows/in...r_antivirus.exe

BitDefender Internet Security 2013 16.0.16.1349

http://download.bitdefender.com/windows/in...r_isecurity.exe

Version 16.0.16.1349 VMware still not compatible?

Hello

For those that didn't receive the 1349 build over Automatic Update, please follow these steps:

Thank you for your patience.

Have a great day!

I got mine today, reverted the workaround and I can confirm that it's now working.

Thanks for the support,

Hi Mike

I am glad to hear that.

Thank you very much for your feedback!

Should you need any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Take care.

Hello

The fix was released only for the US version and will soon be ported to all localizations.

Until the update will be released, you have 2 options: install the English version (remove the current version with the uninstall tool posted here http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=35804 and install the product by following these instructions http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?act...=312&id=53) or use the workaround posted here http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?sho...st&p=148077.

Thank you in advance for understanding!
