Autoscan Turning Itself Off

jquaintance · August 2012

I had somehow picked up a trojan that Bitdefender couldn't get rid of but was able to find a removal tool by them and it looks gone. The Antivirus doesn't see it anymore anyway. The only issue remaining is that the Autoscan keeps turning itself off. When I log on to the laptop I have to turn it back on. I am worried that it's happening because the trojan is still lurking somewhere that Bitdefender doesn't see. I completed a system scan with nothing detected. Please help.

Same problem here. AS disables "at random". When this happens the "Show Hidden Files & Folders" settings in Win7 loses it's setting. IE... the radio selection is completly removed from both folder options.

I have done a more than detailed troubleshooting and have been left to think that BD simply can not detect what infection is present.

Hello

I have received your PM.

In order to be able to further investigate the reported situation we need a bit more information from your computer as follows:

. A BDSYS log;

[how to GENERATE A BDSYS LOG]

. Save and extract the BDSYS tool to a location of your choice:

http://www.bitdefender.com/files/Knowledge.../BDSysLog_i.exe

. Make sure you close all active applications and then run "BDSysLog_i.exe"; If you receive a firewall

alert,select to Allow the application to connect;

. Click the "Create log" button to start generating the

log; A progress bar is indicating that the tool is creating the report;

. When the small window appears with the message "Log

saved" then the report is complete and a new file named "bdsyslog.zip" has appeared on your Desktop;

. Upload that file on

http://www.sendspace.com

or

http://www.mediafire.com

and send me a PM with the download link.

If you were already asked to generate the log file, disregard the message above and just post the ticket ID.

IMPORTANT:

.During this process the Real Time Protection in Bitdefender must be temporarily disabled;

.If you receive a Bitdefender Firewall alert to inform you that BDSysLog_i.exe tries to connect to the internet,then you need to select Allow;

[how to DISABLE THE ANTIVIRUS PROTECTION in Bitdefender 2013]

In order to disable the antivirus protection, please open Bitdefender and click the "Settings" button in the upper side part of the interface"; In the new window go to "Antivirus" > "Shield" tab and click on "ON" under On-access scanning. Select the time interval that suites your troubleshooting needs and click "OK". The On-access scanning should be enabled back after finishing the troubleshooting procedure.

We will get back to you as soon as the analysis is complete.

Have a nice day.

Hello Christian,

Followed the instructions you gave.

The issue is still presenting on rebooting. Where do we go from here?

Thanks

Sportif · September 2012

Well thanks for attempting to help. I'll move on to another AV product for our machines after the term expires from the last renewal.

We really shouldnt have to wait 7+ days for a response to tech support issues. Calling in sadly is not better.

Time to reformat... eventhough that is not something I wanted to do while in the middle of working on 5 semi-major projects for our little but growiing firm.

Same here.

And even with the repair/re-installs, and updates, I still have to reboot several computers about every 12 to 24 hours because they lock up.

They keep restarting with Autoscan off and I can't turn it on.

This is getting old..

Same problem here, but only on one of three PCs. :wacko:

Sportif · September 2012

The product was updated on release. The issue is still presenting. So... no. The update did not fix the problem. As it were... two other machines have the same problem.

Hi Sia7asH,

Thank you for submitting the logs. They show that your Bitdefender product is working correctly and the Autoscan is disabled only from time to time, when Bitdefender switches to Laptop Mode.

True, but it doesn't turn on auto-update again after leaving laptop mode. You need to fix this now - not tomorrow. Can't use this on my kids computers as it (not) works now.

Same problem here, tried to PM, mailbox full?

BD 16.32.0.1882 --> Bitdefender Issues --> On-access scanning is disabled --> Start --> Failed

fsleeper · December 2013

I keep having this problem. This problem has been a continual problem ACROSS PC's and laptops and across Bitdefender versions (like not just 2012).

Can you please post a thread and respond here as to what is doing this and what to look for?

As FYI:

1. I have installed 2013 on a clean laptop and after a while the autoscan bug crops up, it just starts disabling.

2. I have done a complete uninstall / clean uninstall using Bitdefender uninstall, cleaned up the registry, rebooted, applied all MS patches and updated all drivers, then did a complete install of 2013 (after all the reboots just to make sure), happens again.

THANKS for your help!

prajsziga · December 2013

Hello

I'm new here although I have Bitdefender now for a half of a year.

I also have problems with autoscan function. It is disabled at each system start. After enabling the feature don't disable by itself again. But at the next system start it is disabled again.

Also I cannot set antivirus settings to defaults. It just don't let me do it...

Also on settings tab, there is just general setting, an no other as it used to be... Nevertheless I can access all settings through small buttons on the main tab.

Now it is going on like this for a month. My licences expire in 162 days.

I have installed Internet Security 2013, before I have had Panda. I completely removed it before BD install as instructed.

System is Win7 Home Premium (OEM from HP).

I have 3 licences, but there are no such problems on WinXP (professional) and on Win8 OEM from HP (here I have Internet Security 2014 as I installed it a month ago).

Thank you all in advance for your help
