Virus Masquerading As Bitdefender?
Recently a nag started popping up in the lower right area of my taskbar. It claims to be Bitdefender, and wants me to run a scan.
The thing is, I have never installed any Bitdefender products on my machine.
I cannot find any uninstall applications anywhere on my machine, and there is nothing in the Control Panel Add and Remove Programs panel. I have tried the uninstall application from here, it runs and says it has successfully uninstalled Bitdefender (how it can do that is beyond me, as I have never installed Bitdefender), but it does that everytime I run it.
I have scanned the registry, but do not find any entries for Bitdefender.
I have searched the entire computer and there is nothing that is related to Bitdefender.
I have searched the web and cannot find anything either.
Yet this thing keeps popping up asking me to click it, and since I have never installed the Bitdefender software I refuse to do so.
Can anyone help me with this?
