Windows 7, Action Center Alert - Wscfxav.exe

I recently bought a copy of BitDefender Antivirus 2010 and installed it on my Laptop running Windows 7 Pro - it is a relatively new installation (about 1 week). Did not have any prior antivirus installed on it.

I too am facing the same problem. I am given the option to enable it through windows action center, but clicking on it does nothing to remove the message.

The Icon of BitDefender however seems to be red and shows that it is fully functional. I am thinking it is a communication problem between bitdefender and windows action center, but I don't know for sure.

Would be nice to have a solution for this.

Thanks

Hi,

I use Windows vista home premium 32 bits, and i have exactly the same problem mencionned above. I have the security center warning but my bitdefender also wont let update or enable automatic update.

I tried to solve to problem as indicated above but when it comes to remove the repository folder, it tells me that i cant remove it cause it's being used by another program..

Can somebody please help me?

hello, i'm also having the same problem, tried the solution posted above, but it still doesn't work, the action centre just shows 2 message, update bitdefender antispyware and update bitdefender antivirus, but both of them are already updated in btidefender itself... i'm having bitdefender total security 2010 and using widnwos 7 64 bit... the virus definition is 5831702 and the negine version is 7.31555..

Hello confused_dude,

Keep in mind that the virus signatures should be 5968894 and the Engine version 7.31737. Update BitDefender as explained below and let me know if the issue still persist:

1. Double click on the BitDefender's icon to open the Security Center.

2. Switch to 'Expert Mode' from the 'Settings' button.

3. Go to the UPDATE tab.

4. Click on 'Update Now' button

Please confirm that the issue has been resolved.

Regards,

I've tried both of these solutions, neither works. I'm using virus sigs 9324041 and engine 7.39847

Hello,

I have Bitdefender Internet Security 2011 and Windows 7 32bit.

I have black hair, yellow teeth and a small goldfish called "Fools Gold" (sorry dont know what else you need)

I have the exact same problem. I have the Windows Security Center flag with a red cross.

When clicking on there it shows me 3 errors i.e.

1. Turn on Windows Defender (Important)

2. Find an Antivirus program online (Important)

3. Turn on Windows Firewall (Important)

I tried your solution (as quoted in this post), Carmen, but there's no change.

One other thing i might mention that i didn't see the other users mention (which is my main concern actually),...sometimes when windows starts up the Bitdefender icon really isn't where it normally shows, implying that it did not start up. This is what made me think that the windows security center flag might actually be correct in highlighting the Bitdefender problem and that there might in actual fact be something wrong with Bitdefender.

Appreciate your assistance.
