How Do I Turn Bitdefender Off Completely?

Options

Good afternoon.


I installed Bitdefender Internet Security 2013 for the first time two days ago, and all went well.


However, it will not let me install an update to an existing program.


I have tried turning off the Firewall and Anti-Virus, but no change.


I cannot find anything in the documentation or here about how to turn it off for long enough to install the update.


Anyone know, please?


Thanks in advance - Chris

    Use the product in User Mode, Turn ON Paranoid Mode and set IDS and AVC to Normal. Or try to Exclude the program process and executable from Antivirus > Exclusions.

    Try the task manager, you may need to force the program to close. Installing it under safe mode is the easiest option too. smile2.png

  • you cant turn it off its on your pc forever bitdefender cannot be turned off and, i don't think you can terminate any internet security from task manager ,security risk but i might be wrong about that.I asked for a option to turn bitdefender off they told me it wouldn't happen because its security risk they apparently know whats best for my pc that's why i left and purchased something else.
