Important, Windows 10 event view.

Good one   

Ummmm ok......hard to take you seriously when you rant like a lunatic.  I just checked the Event Log and I don't see any "warnings" here. So if you're Communist shouldn't you be using the state sanctioned Kapersky ? Or perhaps you're a shill for Kapersky ?

lol...he is pretty entertaining, though, grab the popcorn and watch the show   Did like the video, hard to go wrong with Dire Straits  

This has been happening since yesterday. I've been getting Event ID 51 warnings in the Event Viewer upon startup.

Description: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 during a paging operation.

Description: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 during a paging operation.

Now, while I can't exactly prove that Bitdefender is the cause of this, but considering that the only daily thing that changes on my computer are Bitdefender updates, and the fact that I've found other people who have also encountered this issue at the same time that I have, and also happen to run Bitdefender, I think it's safe to say that Bitdefender is the root of this.

Technically the errors seem to be superficial since everything still runs the same as usual, but I would still like to see this fixed.

Hi... This SebastionDi guy shows up every now and then, rants and raves about about some nonsense, then disappears again. I agree. Very hard to take him seriously.

What are we supposed to be looking for in Win 10 Event Viewer ? I'm not seeing anything here but I might not be looking in the right place.

Under "Warnings", they only appear at whatever time you boot up. Sorry I can't get a picture of my own at the moment.

The only reason I would "know" it is BD, is that I did a clean install this morning on this PC, and this is the only time I see this error, right after the install. I had BD installed on this PC about 3 days ago, and uninstalled it, so it was before this last build/update?, as I don't see this error past today in the log.

edit: just did another restart with more 51 warnings. SMART says Toshiba HD is OK....but?

I was looking under warnings and just did so again and I don't see any warnings here.

I think it's become painfully apparent that Bitdefender products can no longer be trusted. No response to "support" tickets. No response  on their "support" forum. This is absolutely unacceptable performance for any software company.

I get free licenses for the McAfee security suite from my ISP so I'm thinking about uninstalling BD TS.  Think about that....someone who has been a loyal fan of BD for so long is thinking about replacing it with McAfee which has a horrible reputation.

I'm going to try to find a way to get a message to Florin Talpes to let him know how bad his company and software have become.

So what are the alternatives ? Kapersky is out due to it's connection with the Russian Government. What would you guys use instead of BD ?

Hello guys. Found a bug. Watch the event log, i did a screenshot. It is 100% based on the latest version of BD Total Security 2018.

System config:

New installed, fresh Windows 10 Creators Update, Version: 16299.248

Regards, DI (why the i am the bugfinder always)

Same problem here since yesterday. I've been getting Event ID 51 warnings in the Event Viewer upon startup.

Description: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk0\DR0 during a paging operation.

Description: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR1 during a paging operation.

Description: An error was detected on device \Device\Harddisk1\DR2 during a paging operation.

I have scanned every hard drive, none are defective. I spent hours searching before discovering that the antivirus was at fault. I am more and more disappointed with Bitdefender.

I've deleted the Bitdefender malware from this system and replaced it with the the free McAfee Suite I get from my ISP. So far it's performing well. Let that sink in BD...someone deleted your security suite and replaced it with McAfee. I'd be embarrassed. 

And I'd be worried, McAcrap is subpar at best for a security solution, good luck.

Of course it's subpar and that's why BD should be embarrassed that anyone would replace Total Security 2018 with McAfee. But it's nice to be able to boot this computer and not have to wait 10 minutes to do a simple morning update. I don't engage in risky behavior. I don't steal music or software. I don't visit torrents. I don't open email attachments etc. Trust me it's very sad that I would have to uninstall a BD product because it's performance has gotten so bad as I've used and loved the software for many years (I even won "fan of the month" on their Facebook page). It's not just the long updates but there are bugs with the security widget display status which I have reported twice including screenshots with no response. The last update I did with BD TS on this system before deleting it I noticed that there was a lot of activity on my external USB hard drive that stopped when the BD update was done. Why would it be accessing my external drive for a virus update ?  I also notice a lot of disk reads when doing an update so no telling what BD is reading off my hard drive.  Then there is the issue with drive errors that others have reported. So all that adds up to me deleting TS on this system and going with McAfee at least for the time being. If BD software is buggy then how do we know the protection isn't buggy as well ? If Bitdefender gets their act together and fixes the bugs and issues with it's software I will happily delete McAfee and go back to using BD TS 2018. I truly hope that happens but after a month of trying to get an issue fixed I have less and less faith that I will be able to trust TS 2018 again. I still have TS 2018 installed on two computers but I don't know for how long. I have some time left on my 5 licenses but as things stand right now I will not be renewing my licenses.........

For me it is worse.

Since the last update I also have the mentioned event 51 messages.

But on top of that when doing a full system scan, after a while i get a bluescreen

0x0000001a (0x0000000000004477, 0x0000018ae7dd15e8, 0x0000000000000000, 0x0000000000000000)

It also logs an event about "The device, \Device\Harddisk2\DR2, has a bad block."

It breaks on my intel rst raid 1 set, I spent the whole week scanning the raid set for bad blocks, then broke the raid array into 2 separate disks also scanned them and they are fine.

Now when I do a full system scan on the disks when they are not in raid (so I have 2 identical content drives in windows) the full system scan completes fine.

As soon as I recreate the raid array, blue screen at full system scan again. Obviously the raid array has to rebuild again for a few hours every time this happens

Happy to find this topic, not happy that I have been searching for a hardware issue the whole week, scanning for bad sectors, multiple backups and restores, which I can now point to the latest bitdefender update.

Thanks so much for posting! This is shocking proof that Bitdefender is not just causing a "reporting issue" but actually damages drive setups / firmware.

I don't use RAID but did the same surface scans and nothing is wrong with the drives. I'm clueless how BD manages to cause such massive problems, cost and wasted debugging time for its customers...

I'm seeing these events on my 3 computers. They are not isolated to Windows 10 only as I have a mixture of Windows 7, 8.1 and 10.

The eventlog errors started on 28 februari and are 100% sure caused by bitdefender. Uninstall it and they are gone, Reinstall and here we go again. 

Support dismissing them as just "reporting issues and not correlated with an actual issue"  shows their competence level...

So windows OS is just generating these disk errors/warnings for nothing ? 

This ( and the unc network issue ) are not minor issues anymore. 

I regrettably own a 2 year license just from late december 2017, anyway if it's not solved in the next 2 weeks, I'm done with Bitdefender.

i have tried several other suites before, each of them has flaws, but these are major issues.

Bitdefender's support is poor to non-existent while these issues are so easy to replicate.

yes looks like they fixed it, I also had a bitdefender update (with restart) yesterday. and the eventlog warnings & errors are gone since then.

Just did a full system scan and no more bluescreens or other errors.

Nice silent fix, pity that they do not tell that something was actually wrong, not on my support ticket, and not on this forum.

So a case of Bitdefender saying "It's Not a Problem, no need to worry" then "Let's slip a fix in and hope no one notices" ? How can anyone trust a company like this ? *Sigh* I've lost faith in BD after being one of their most loyal customers for many years. When you upset your best fans you've done something wrong. I'd fire the whole management team and start over.

How they went about the silent fix may be one thing, and that support here on the forum may not be to "chatty" about informing us what was going on, or what they did. But what did impress me was that this issue was reported on Feb 28th, and fixed on March 6th. Also, it looks like the Full Scan issue for some was also fixed with that same same update. For that, I will give BD a, good job, in taking care of these issues so quickly. Now, if they can just resolve the slow update issue, they may win some people back?

I will try clean reinstalling Bitdefender again and report back soon.
