Hello,
I bought Bitdefender Antivirus Plus for one of my machines, since I always wanted to try it, but I'm having serious doubts about the product now.
I downloaded the installer from my bitdefender central, ran the installation and it always stops, complaining about my Comodo firewall and forcing me to uninstall it. It was complaining about Malwarebytes too, although no resident part of it was running on my system, but I could uninstall that for the installation. I even tried to download an installer for bitdefender Antivirus free, with the same result.
There is no reason any Antivirus sw should tamper with a firewall, those are two different products and Comodo firewall was the reason I bought just antivirus, not Internet security or some of the higher security packages including firewall.
My doubt about the bitdefender Antivirus Plus is based on this behavior, since there are 3 possible results and I don't like any:
1, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus contains a firewall (although Bitdefender claims it doesn't) and forces me to use it (unlikely)
2, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus does not contain firewall while forces me to uninstall mine during installation, and therefore making my computer very vulnerable
3, Bitdefender Antivirus Plus contains/installs a firewall, which is not part of my Antivirus Plus subscription and will throw me some ransom notes to pay additional $ for it, while making my computer very vulnerable if I don't
Was anybody able to install Antivirus Plus with some third party firewall? Any suggestions?
thanks
