From: http://download.bitdefender.com/npd/free/Antivirus_Free_Edition.exe

After re-installing twice, 'seems to be -stuck- on this:

Bitdefender has updated its virus signatures.
The update version is 7.66297.
The signature number is 7110319.

... but this:
> http://download.bitdefender.com/updates/bitdefender_v9/plugins/update.txt
... says:

Update time: Wed Jul 13 20:11:51 2016
Signature number: 6240148
Update time GMT: 1468429911
Version: 7.66307

Is there a fix?

    My Bitdefender Free Edition for the last 4+ hrs is still on update version 7.66297 with the signature number 7110319. Maybe some issue with Free Bitdefender update servers ?

    Hello,

    Most plausible scenario is that you had a bigger update pending a reboot, after the reboot the product continued with the update process.

    Another would be that after the restart you got routed to a different server in the cloud that was more suitable for your location.

    Despite all that, happy to see that the situation has been resolved.
