[Resolved] Bitdefender 2010 Dial-up Upgrade Problems
My problem is with the initial upgrade after installation.
I have a dial-up connection which takes hours to do the initial upgrade.
However, the connection is prone to disconnect after a few hours.
The problem is that the BitDefender upgrade does not look at the files already downloaded and append to them.
The upgrade process starts over from the beginning.
I had the same problem with the 2009 version.
So instead of hours to do the initial upgrade, it takes days of trying to download the initial upgrade.
Totally frustrating.
When I look at BitDefender Common Files Directory, I see the same files are downloaded over and over and over again.
If only BitDefender could resume a download instead of restarting the whole process, it would save days of frustration.
Is there a way around this problem?

Hello Icono,
Considering your connection I would say you have two choices: either download the weekly update from our website using another internet connection (at the office, a friend, an e-cafe etc) following the steps below then save the weekly.exe file on a memory flash drive to move it from one computer to another.
As a second choice you can use your dial-up connection to download the weekly updates using a download manager to resume/pause the download.
Please try to manually update by following the link below and choose the respectful solution and the type of Windows (32bits; 64 bits)
BitDefender update website - manual update
When the file is saved simply run it then restart your computer and the BitDefender will be up to date.

DanyDan,
Your solution of using a download manager to download the weekly update worked great.
You saved my sanity!
