Bitdefender Not Working!

I have recently purchased BitDefender Antivirus 2008 and it has been running great!


I kind of broke my graphics card drivers and couldnt be bothered to try and fix them so I decided to format and install a fresh version of Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit, I then updated Windows Vista with all available updated including Service Pack 1. Then I went on to installing BitDefender Antivirus 2008 and everytime Windows start its hangs and loads very very slow for about 10mins and then this error pops up:


Host Process for Windows Services stopped working and was closed


Once I click close on the error my PC run fine however the File Zone Indicator shows no scans at all unlike before.


AMD Athlon 6000+ X2


BFG GeForce 8800GTS OC 512


Creative Sound Blaster X-FI PCI-E


2GB DDR2 Crucial Memory


Western Digital 180GB Hard Drive


Microsft Windows Vista Ultimate 64 Bit with Service Pack 1


Any ideas? :( I have also formated and tried this twice and I get the same problem.

    Indeed, maybe you should watch this thread, as it's already exactly named with the problem. Some infos about the error log would be helpfull, too.

    Hello Chudz,Kenny,MattDurben


    This error can be caused after you used windows update and the Background Intelligent Transfer Service was active. Please try what is written here.


    It could also be a faulty driver. Press the windows button together with r now type devmgmt.msc press enter. Go to the view menu and select show hidden devices.


    Now expand display adaptors right click on your graphics card if there is an error it should be mentioned. Check also other sections you may not find any exclamation marks that refers to a corrupt driver.


    Best regards
