Goodbye Bitdefender

Well I still have 55 days subscription remaining. I have now uninstalled Bitdefender. After constant crashes and the scanning engine stopping without any warning and forcing a re-install of the product. I had 3 licenses, my wife's computer had a bios problem where the time clock reset and Bitdefender then expired on Windows boot and then wouldn't accept the registration code anymore! I have now installed another Security suite and love it! Bitdefender is the biggest load of garbage I have ever installed .... goodbye!

    In my ever so humble opinion, BitDefender rocks. This is by far the best security application I've seen. I have had BD AV10, had a problem with BDIS 2008 firewall, am now running BDTS 2009 and love it.


    Great product on my PC.

    Hello Fester,


    A clock reset problem is mostly caused by an empty or almost empty battery on the your motherboard. Or the time server that you are using isn't available anymore. Right click on your system clock adjust (change) date/time high light the time tab select time.windows.com as server and check the option and press on synchronize now. Another possible cause but that isn't the case here is software to fool software so you can use them after the end of the trial period.


    BitDefender isn't garbage. I use BitDefender for many years without any serious problems (since version 8). I don't have tried version 2009 yet because it isn't available in my language.


    1) Be sure that previous security suites or antivirus are completely removed. You should always use specific uninstall tool if the vendor offers it and run a registry scan afterwards. The most important thing is rebooting.


    2)Be sure that any other realtime protection is notactive during installation. More specificly the tools that monitor registry changes.


    2)Try another user account. Sometimes that problems lays with the current user account.


    I don't say that there couldn't be any conflicting issues with BitDefender and other software.


    That is all what I wanted to say. Sorry that to hear that you now have another suite installed. Hopefully you enjoy it.


    Kind regards,


    Niels
