Bitdefenders Services Are Not Responding. Please Restart Your Computer And If The Problem Persists,

"BitDefenders Services are not responding. Please restart your computer and if the problem persists, contact BitDefender support."

I am also getting the same message even though all 3 processes are running. The icon is grey, no error reports or anything.

Is there any solution besides repairing (which btw is taking ages)?

Same problems. Think its time to try another antivirus proggy. I try to reinstall all other solutions with NO LUCK.

We need HELP and FAST !!

Hmm, I got the same thing yesterday. I unlocked my workstation (Vista 32bit) and BD started to do a full scan. I cancelled that and started browsing around. It wasn't till about 30 minutes later that I looked down by the clock and saw that the BD icon was grey. Clicked on it and it popped up what you mention. I had to reboot to get it active.

I have this problem too with Bitdefender not responding and at the same time the Bitdefender Threat Scanner is filling up my harddisk with definition files. I installed Bitdefender Internet Security 2009 2nd of Oct on my WinXP SP2 system. The "BitDefender Threat Scanner" folder now takes up 20+GB (yes, GigaByte) of space. Found out because suddenly IE started behaving strange, then I tried to uninstall a program but an error occured, I found another program I also wanted to uninstall but got the message there was not enough free space on the harddisk (I have that warning disabled). Hu? There should be at least 15-20GB free space on my C partition, so I checked and found zero free space! After narrowing it down I found out the "BitDefender Threat Scanner" folder takes up 20+GB of space. I'm from Denmark so the following path might be a little wrong: C\Program Files\Common Files\Bitdefender\BitDefender Threat Scanner

I've tried if I could simply delete the older folders in the "BitDefender Threat Scanner" folder, but there's a file in use so that is impossible (might work if I shut Bitdefender down). I think I'm going to buy NOD32 instead and wave goodby to the 286 days of use I still have left on the BIS2009 license. Not exactly what I had expected to give myself for Christmas....

I too have had many prolems with bit defender Support is non existant I called micro soft support & even they had a difficult time geting it to uninstall They spent over 6 hourstrying to get it to uninstall & reair the damage it did to my Os Micro Soft has now declare Bit Defender to be a rouge program My advise yto any one stiil trying to get support from these ****** at Bit Defender is toi forfget about it 7 try to uninstall it by any means posible Revo uninstaller seems to do the job Use it instead of the one supplied by Bit Pretender & put in a different AV Program Personally I like Kapersky's Products Works quite well & has decent support & oh yeah once you get rid of the Bit prtender crap 7 run a different Av scan you can expect to find a LOt of HEUR Ivader Trogans the bit Dender left install all over the place especially in restore files & any other anti spy /malware program files you may have installed

It has been more than 30 days so far that I am trying to get a reply from people from BitDefender. I bought Antivirus 2009 and I have Vista x64 Enterprise Edition, after I have installed the product it was working for couple of days. After one of the updates I started to get Critical Errors every time when I was turning on my PC. Several times I was sending bugs through their bug reports screen and I have sent several e-mails to customer support. After 2 weeks I lost my patience and I wanted my money back, but again no one replied to me. So what is happening, they took my money, their product is not working at all, they are not giving me ANY explanation and I am not getting my money back. One thing is for sure, I will not let this go away just like that. If my company had this kind of attitude with our clients, it wouldn't exist long time ago. It is not about 30$ it is about my rights, and it this instance I am feeling like I all of this is a scam, so what I will do, I will get this to public, newspapers, magazines and everywhere I am capable of, people should know. Even if I get my money back, I really don't care now, it is too late to change my mind. If you are thinking to buy this product, than better use that money and go somewhere or give it to someone who might need it.

Hey everyone...I had the same problem.

....

The "fix" was to uninstall and reinstall, I must admit though that it worked for me.

Yer I've done the re-install twice now, and yup I used the BitDefender cleaner tool to ensure it was all gone on the second try. But a few days / weeks later the problem comes back. So that fix didn't work for me .

My problem solved by removing the last update of IE8 beta 2.
