[solved] Bandwidth Constantly And Massively Used After I Go On Flash Vid Sites. 2014, B

This problem:Speedtest

I noticed the same thing. The needle didn't move and the graph was a weird shape despite my download being a solid 6Mb as measured by BitMeter. I didn't know this was due to BD, I thought the speedtest site just wasn't working, but it doesn't surprise me.

Hi Georgia, Good day

I am running Bitdefender total security 2014 on my computer and I am experiencing exactly the same problem with bandwidth usage !

Whenever I stream a flash video on youtube or any other websites, even after closing google chrome, I see the video is still downloading and I have to disconnect my internet and connect again to stop this weird download !

so I thought you may have solved this problem, would you please kindly let me know if there is any solution or any kind of task that I can do to help solving this problem ?

thanks for your time,

Regards

MT

When will fix the problem with "FIN_WAIT_2. How much longer can be used by Joshy author? many users complain of this problem is not the first year. The problem is widespread. Invite to my company Joshy to fixed the problem if you can't fix it yourself. sorry for machine translation.

There is a new article from pcmag @ http://goo.gl/SqThN claiming that BD is the best antivirus. I have left my comment, I advise others to leave theirs since it is misleading IMHO.

what is new news ?!

isnt enough 3 years for resolving this bug ?!

They probably don't know how to fix this.

same problem here

video is downloading even after i close all browsers so is with idm

Hello,

installed bitdefender internet security today on my windows 8.1 machine, got version 17.20.0.883

I ran a test with youtube and flashx.tv, closing the browser after a while.

result was that my wifi activity, monitpred with task manager, dropped to receive : 0 kbps.

So I guess the bug is resolved?

But still exist on total security i tried on new version.

Me too.

I install total security 2014 x64 build 17.21.0.925 on windows 8.1 pro x64 and i don't have problem with free download manager!!!

Its great...

I'm so excited...

I recomend you that try it into new windows like 8.1.

I was encountered with this problem since 3 years ago.

that's sad, switched to the russian competitor

So even after the new program update 17.21.0.925 ghost traffic still exists....this is so annoying for users like us using limited broadband connections

I'd like to add to this, because it's been quiet here lately about this issue.

Since the 967 update, I've tried. OH GOD did I try, to cause this issue. I opened multiple youtube videos, stopped, closed tabs, re-opened, started videos again and I COULD NOT cause the ghost traffic bug any longer.

Over and over I tried to cause ghost traffic to no avail. TCPview at no time, ever showed anything going to a FIN_WAIT state at all. It's been about a week now that I've been trying on and off to cause the problem, but it seems like it's been finally squashed.

I'd like to hear from anyone running the latest update that is still having the ghost traffic issue, because as far as I'm concerned, it's fixed. And this was the final niggling issue keeping me from using Bitdefender.

I will be renewing if this keeps up.

I downloaded the latest version every thing is fine but the problem exists with IDM.

Hello,

We kindly ask those of you who are facing this traffic issue to post back a screen shot with the CMD results of netstat -n

Make sure to reproduce the issue at that time.

Thank you so much!

Hello.

Let me preface this by saying that I have tried to dig around, and have found no answers to this question, it seems that it has been an ongoing problem for years.

Anyways, whenever I try to stream something in my browser, and close the tab, the file is still being streamed to my device. I have no idea why it continues to do so. Is there any way to fix this. For the record, I have a Family Edition copy (which I was told included The New Total Security for everybody). I truly appreciate the help. Thanks!

Thank you very much for your cooperation. We will contact KosherBacon via email shortly to request more details important to our developers. The ticket number is 2013122712560001 .

We hope you have a healthy and good new year!

@ KosherBacon: We truly appreciate your cooperation, thank you for your prompt response. We have retrieved both the Microsoft Network Monitor and the Bitdefender diagnostic log. We will get back to you in a few minutes.

Thank you for helping us addressing this issue!

I just uninstalled Bitdefender. I can't believe this issue hasn't been fixed after 3 years.

I tried to download Ubuntu but on BitDefender Antivirus Plus (trial) (about 800 mb) through Firefox and second time through Internet Download Manager and even I canceled download, my connection is 100% busy. So my question how that can be firewall's problem when Antivirus Plus doesn't have firewall? I think that BitDefender team is lost in time and place

Please fix this issue. For users like me who are on low bandwidth , this is consuming 100% network if i simply open a youtube and close it , it keep loading in background.

How is this even not fixed thus far?

I am planning to uninstall whole BDTS . What is the purpose of having a good detection rate and ranking first in AVreport , when we have a big problem like this ?

Now thinking of it , i was wondering why my monthly initial speed FUP ran out faster than usual. BD ate everything in background.

Thank you so much for that .

Atleast tell me how to JUST use antivirus product and disable all others in BD TS . Even if i disable firewall , it has no effect , it keeps wasting my bandwidth in background. Also slightly off topic , WHY there is no option to schedule a simple definition update ? Why do i have to go into safe mode to do a simple thing ?

I am really tired and getting annoyed with this issue.

Here is the screenshot with TCPView ,and you can see that one connection keeps downloading thing , when i dont have the browser or anything open. It happens most commonly with ANY STREAMING SITE and soon after you close it.

Why is this not fixed ?

In this first picture you can see that one connection consuming my entire bandwidth

Here is the second picture soon after i close that connection via TCPview

Shall i uninstall BDTS or is there ANY PATCH coming out ? " />
