Bitdefender Update Service Has Encountered A Critical Error

I am using bdis 2010 in windows 7, 32 bit.

Since today morning while I am trying to update bitdefender. it is showing bitdefender update service has encountered a critical error. I have send the bug report number of time but still i am not getting solution from bitdefender support. I have attached the screenshots, bdfileinfo,and archive sysdump here with.my BDIS 2010 engine version is now 728826 and

virus signatures:4482424.

please help if anyone has a clue to solve the problem.

Looking forward for a reply from bitdefender support.

That is an all too familiar sight,it will usually pop up after an update,but beta defender does not actually stop at all, the mind boggles as to why this is produced most of the time for me,

are you using the latest version? 13.06.17 if so join the rest of people who are suffering problems on a similar scale, there is a temporary solution ,if the installation kit that you have was released prior to this major upgrade 03/11/2009, 13.6.16 being the version that worked ok,(for me)if so and you wanted to do this, you would have to install the version that you currently have installed,using the bd un-install tool run twice (recommended) then install it again using the older kit, but not let it update, after setup is complete(after a re-boot, set the updates to 'prompt before downloading updates'for both automatic and manual updates, you could also set the frequency to as little as once per day,

as in order not to end up with this product update ,you have to reject it every time you update bd,

admittedly it's not an ideal solution to these problems. but i don't see bd offering any fix as yet?

i'm currently using the older version manually updating it and everything else is ok
