Bd Free Not Automatically Updating
Hey guys, I've noticed that my Bitdefender Free isn't automatically updating. It was updating about a week ago, and now the only time it will update is when I run a full system On Demand scan. Any ideas ? Thanks.

An easy (well, I think it's easy) way to check on updates is to find the update.txt file in the plugins folder.
Look for the version number, i.e. 7.63920 and compare it to the on posted at
http://download.bitdefender.com/updates/bi...gins/update.txt
Due to its global nature, the versions could lead or lag by a value or two. One could consider an issue is at hand if your version is off by ten or more as BD updates on the average every 1.5 hours.
In the years I ran Free, the updates were consistently spot-on, never varying by more than two or three and then so infrequent I didn't care to investigate.
Remember, BD Free has 100% access to the global Nimbus server network, so any slack in sig updates will be handled in the cloud. AND Free's sig database is a subset of the Premium db, so the cloud is necessary and one must be online for full zero-day protection. That's the price of free. Good thing BD's cloud is second to none.0 -
Thanks for your reply dallas7, it's odd but it seems like my BD Free is updating every 3 days so far.
