    Hello BogdanMihai,


    Please go to the next location "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BitDefender\Desktop\Profiles" (on Windows XP) or "C:\ProgramData\BitDefender\Desktop\Profiles" (on Windows Vista or Windows 7 ), look after the file called "tasks_system.xml", upload it on http://www.sendspace.com/, then post here the download link .


    Thank you .

    Dear Alex,


    I have sent you two private messages asking for help. I have managed to install BD2010 thanks to your help but I have the same problem as above, in addition to another problem where the BD security warning says I don't have a firewall turned on.


    I tried to follow your advice above but I don't have the file you have asked for. When I get to the "Profiles" folder it has another folder in it called "Logs" which inside that has four different kind of scan folders.


    Please help or advise how I can organise a refund for the BD2010 product I have purchased as my computer has gone unprotected for over a month already.

    Hello Downunder111 and BogdanMihai,


    Please try the steps bellow :


    1. Download a modified tasks_system.xml file from the next link:http://www.sendspace.com/file/fys4yv.


    2. Reboot the PC in Safe Mode.


    - restart the computer;


    - repeatedly press the "F8" key several times before Microsoft Windows begins to load (you need to press "F8" until you will be displayed a text menu);


    - select "SAFE MODE" in the text menu and press "Enter".


    - wait while Windows loads in Safe Mode; this process ends with a confirmation message; click "Yes" to acknowledge.


    3. Set your computer to Display Hidden Files And Folders


    - go to your "Control Panel" and open "Folder Options";


    - then go to the "View" tab and perform the changes listed below:


    * check "Display contents of system folders"


    * check "Show hidden files and folders"


    * uncheck "Hide file extensions for known file types"


    * uncheck "Hide protected operating system files"


    - click "Apply" and then "OK" to exit.


    NOTE: On Microsoft Windows Vista you will apply the same steps except for selecting "Display contents of system folders".


    For more information you can read the following article:


    http://kb.bitdefender.com/KB354-en--Reveal...em-folders.html


    4. Go to the next location C:\ProgramData\BitDefender\Desktop\Profiles (for Windows Vista and Win 7) or C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BitDefender\Desktop\Profiles (Windows XP) and copy the tasks_system.xml file here. When you will be asked if you want to replace the file choose Yes .


    5. Start your computer in Normal Mode , try to perform a scan and let us know if you receive the same message .


    Thank you .

  • It worked for me..it started the scan but i stopped because of lack of time.I observed that before the "System Tasks" didn't include any task at all,like Deep scan,system scan.. .Tomorrow morning i will start a deep scan and i'll reply here if i have any problems.Thx. :)

  • Hi Alex


    I have no system tasks either. The file on Sendspace has expired, could you please upload a new one and post the link. Running IS2010.


    Thanx for solving the bdselfpr.sys BSODs, for me anyway.

  • Hello Stingrae,


    We are very sorry for the late response. We have uploaded a new task_system.xml on Sendspace. Please click here in order to download it.


    Thank you.
