    Hello.

    Taken from here:

    "This is usually an isolated error code.Check how many update errors -100 were encountered by the Bitdefender product and see if any of them were followed by successful updates. If they were followed by successful updates, it means Bitdefender is up-to-date and no further actions are required."

    You could also do the following:
