Firewall Is Disabled

Hi, I am using Bitdefender Total Security and when clicking "Fix all Issues", the only issue is "Firewall is Disabled", so I click start and Bitdefender says it "failed" to disable my firewall.

I have no other Anti-Spyware on the computer.

The windows Firewall IS disabled.

Second issue: During a scan for viruses, Bitdefender stops the scan and says it has encountered a critical error and for me to report the issue.

I applied the steps in the BidDefender article, but the problem reoccurred several days later. I reapplied the recommended steps and fixed it again, but the problem again reoccurred.

Hi,

i am experiencing the same issue: firewall disabled and can't be enabled.

please send the procedure by mail to fix it on Windows Vista.

Many thanks.

The option to Repair was greyed out and could not be selected even after a reboot. Trying the solution posted before to uninstall the firewall using the Uninstall_FW_All.exe file did not work as it indicated that the file location could not be found. It still rebooted the computer with no help.

I will try to reinstall Bitdefender Internet Security 2010 on my Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit computer and see if a fresh install helps.

With as many people that are experiencing this problem, a solution should be posted in the forums rather than telling people to post a reply for an emailed solution that is NOT provided. Better yet, please patch the program to fix this problem as it is a significant problem lowering the effective protection provided by your product.

He think that my fiend having the same problem.

When he try to activate Bitdefender it shows the error - no intenet connection.

("Failed to communicate with the Bitdefender Security service")

When firewall is disabled I have access to Internet.

Then he try to install BDIS 2009 but still the same - no internet connection when firewall is working.

We don't change any firewall settings.

Maybe it's because new Internet Explorer ?(ver.7)

@all

Do you have ever read all the pages of this topic ? A lot of solutions are described, a few of them seems to work with lucky guys, but for me and a lot of other customers, the problem is there yet...

It arrives when Windows XP/Vista to Windows 7 change or on Windows XP/Vista/7 stable OS,

with updates or not,

with patch fixes or not,

with version 6 and 7 of IE (I tried the two ones),

with a complete Windows XP SP3 Auto Update (for me),

trying a system Restore that has failed (no change detected),

with ou without the Windows Firewall activated during BD setup,

idem with or without connection to Internet...

I have no more idea...

Really, can some BD guy come and take care of us ?

Hi, yesterday I bought BD 2010 (a very satisfied customer with version 2009 - license for 3 PCs), internet security, and I have the problem described above. when I enable the firewall, I lose connection to the Internet. where do I disable it, the connection is restored. Please for help in solving this problem. OS Win 7 Ultimate BD Internet Security 2010th Thank you.

Hello all,

Regarding the firewall issue, please be informed there are many situations which could lead to this:

1. First of all, the most common situation is when you change your operating system (let's say from Windows Vista to Windows 7) or

when you make an important modification related to BitDefender. Here we have the situations where you make a Repair (which may not work), when you do a System Restore (which could affect BitDefender), or when the installation is not complete, whether because the installation kit is corrupted or simply because you have used a CD with a BitDefender version which doesn't have all the latest updates.

Therefore, in these cases, please follow this link in order to remove BitDefender (do not forget to use also the removal tool from step 2), and then try to reinstall it from our website.

2. In case the solution above did not work, please follow these steps in order to reinstall just the BitDefender Firewall drivers.

3. If the first 2 solutions did not work, please be so kind as to follow the steps from this link in order to provide us with the reports we need for further investigation.

The reports will be sent directly to our Technical Support Team and you will receive an automatic reply shortly.

Please send me a PM with the ticket ID from the Subject of the e-mail so that I may analyze the reports and send you a solution as soon as possible.

Also, please follow the steps below and make sure to include in your e-mail the requested screen-shot:

For Windows versions prior than Vista:

Go to Start, Run.., at the run dialog box type "devmgmt.msc", press Enter

For Vista and Windows 7:

Go to Start, type "devmgmt.msc" in the windows search text field and press Enter

- open the View tab

- chekc the option to Show hidden devices

- expand Network adapters

- take a screenshot

- attach it to an email reply

[How to take a screenshot]

- When the window is on the screen please press the "PrintScreen" key ("PrintScreen" is located at the top of the keyboard, at right. At this step we can not see anything, as the picture is copied into Windows's clipboard)

- Open a graphic editing application (We recommend using the standard Paint program, that comes with every Windows installation (Start > Program > Accessories > Paint))

- Paste the picture in a new Paint document;

- Save the file in JPEG format (BMP format is too big to send by e-mail).

At the end, please do not forget to include the requested screen-shot in your e-mail together with the support tool and

also to mention the ticket ID when you send me the PM.

Thank you.

Kindly send to me a procedure on my e-mail how to enable firewall as soon as possible in details
