Bitdefender Not Working After Update

Options

I had the 2010 total security product. There was a auto update today and then I was asked to reboot my PC, which I did. But after the reboot, Bitdefender is no longer running. I tried clicking on Bitdefender on my start menu and I got this error message "The item 'seccenter.exe' that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly." Apparently the update removed some of the Bit defender files and now it's not working anymore.


I tried uninstalling and then re-install Bitdefender. Same thing happened again. After the while Bitdefender auto-update again and I had to reboot again and it's not working again. Someone please help. I am running windows 7 pro 64-bit.


To be frank I am quite disappointed in this product, first I had firefox issues which I managed to solve by turning off antiphising and now this.

  • The same thing happened this morning with my BD Total Security 2010.


    I also have Windows 7.


    It simply does not start with the system and I get the same message when I try to start it manually.


    What is going on?
