Problem With Active Virus Control
Everytime I go to certain websites, drudgereport, rottentomatoes, and some others, the websites often will close and more or less refresh. A bitdefender popup opens in the right hand corner with this message: iexplore.exe has been terminated because it was deemed harmful by Active Virus Control
This is a really frustrating issue and has only started happening a couple of weeks ago.

Hello,
Can you please create an export reg file with the following key, from your registry?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\MidasHeurScanner
If you don't know how to do that, please follow these steps:
1. Open Registry Editor (start, run, type regedit and click OK)
2. Browse your registry to the key that I've mentioned.
3. Right click on the MidasHeurScanner key name, and click Export.
4. Choose a location and a name for the .reg file, and click Save.
Please attach the file (or copy/paste its contents) here.0 -

I think I've identified the problem, it is a false positive, so there's nothing to worry about, your system is not infected.
Thank you for this report, we will deliver an update soon.0
