Bad Customer Support

I just wanted to make a post of the POOR Customer Support by BitDefender. I spoke with an IT Support person via IM using BD's chat session, and he said he would send me two files via email that I needed to put on my PC and then send BD the output of these files and they would get back to me. My problem was that on a system restart BD would enable and then disable itself and tell me that "BD services were unable to start, please restart pc." Even after numerous restarts I could not get it to work. This meant that I had ZERO virus protection. Therefore, I followed the support guy's instructions, downloaded the files, then replied to his message with my Support Ticket number with the files attached. This was TWO weeks ago and so far NO response!!!! A week ago, I even sent in a reply, asking if they received the files, if they needed anything else, or if they could let me know when they could get back to me. NOTHING!!!!


So, being a pretty proficient I.T. person I went to the PC this weekend with some beer to calm myself, and tried disecting MS Config, Regedit and a couple of other things to figure out the problem. Nothing would work, not even disabling all Services except BD upon bootup. I assumed two services were causing an incompatibility issue. NOPE. So after all this, I was about to just give up and uninstall and re-install BD, when I found the "Repair" feature in the program. I used the Repair feature and WHAM after one re-boot everything was back and working again. This took 5-mins, but me di-secting MS Config and Regedit took an hour.


Note to BD I.T. Support: Suggest to your customers to try the REPIAR function, and then let BD know the outcome. This would have saved me approximately 2hours, and frustration seeing as how I STILL HAVE NOT HEARD FROM BD Support!!!!!!


Maybe you guys should hire me!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Why post this if you don't need any help?


    This topic should be closed.

  • Why post if I don't need help??? Did you READ the post? I was commenting on the bad customer support. Did you read the subject line of my post?


    The point is I let BD know I had a problem and its been 3-WEEKS and I have not heard anything back, so I had to fix the problem myself. It was not a minimum problem neither, the service failed to start, which meant my PC was NOT protected.


    I guess if you buy a car, and in 2-weeks of purchasing it the car fails to start you expect to fix that yourself and not the Manufacturer??? How about you buy a Washing Machine, and in 2-weeks it won't turn on. Do you expect to fix that yourself? Finally, the very PC you are using right now in reading this; fails to turn on 2-weeks after you purchase it. Are YOU going to take it apart and check the power supply and risk breaking the components, OR are you going to take it back to where you got it and expect a prompt fix?

  • Just 3 weeks?!?!?!
