    batgirl,


    I had this probem in the early days of v.11. See if this helps at all... Boot into Safe Mode and try to use the special 64-bit BitDefender uninstaller. If it does manage to run in Safe Mode, reboot, then reboot again into Safe Mode and run the special tool again and then reboot into Normal Mode. BD SHOULD be gone. No guarantees!


    If this doesn't work for you, you're pretty much done until Monday when the BitDefender support team come back to work. They don't do anything on the weekends.


    Good Luck!


    Cheers

    Hi girl,


    run the installer with the same programme, not the uninstaller!


    This should again ask you to remove the previously installed BD. I have no idea why!

    Please tell me what uninstaller did you run? Was it the one that comes with the product or the one you can download from here?


    Try running the last one in Safe Mode with Networking and see if BitDefender is uninstalled like this.
