Error Message Since Upgrade From Bitdefender 2009 To 2010

We had Windows Vista and upgraded to Windows 7. Windows 7 wasn't compatible with Bitdefender 2009 so we received a free upgrade for the remainder of the time we had left.


Since the upgrade to Bitdefender 2010, we've had problems with the taskbar icon going gray and the error message saying, "Bitdefender Services Are Not Responding. The Bitdefender Security Service (vsserv.exe) is unavailable at the moment. Please restart the computer and try again. If the problem persists, please check out online support at http://www.bitdefender.com/help. The contact information provided on this site allows you to directly reach the Bitdefender Customer Care team for further information."


We have the system scan for 11:30pm every night. It was taking 9 hours to complete the scan. This same scan used to take only 1-2 hours with Bitdefender 2009. The above error message only appears when we go to our computer first thing in the morning.


We've already checked for conflicts with other scheduled programs like our Norton Ghost back-up and Windows Automatic Update and Windows Security.


We have Windows 7, 64-bit, IE8.


Please help with this problem.


Thanks.

    Daniel,


    The steps we took to upgrade to 2010 was as follows: I contacted bitdefender support via telephone and was given a url link to download 2010. I followed the steps to upgrade from 2008 and configured the settings with the assistance of the tech. I have also called another time asking for help with this same issue without things being resolved. As for the email associated with our forum account, we didn't get one. Can this be resent with the details of what you may need to help us resolve our issue.


    Thanks,

  • Hi,


    I have sent you the email few moments ago again, on your Hotmail account.


    Have you used the uninstall tool in order to remove the 2008 version before installing the new 2010 ?


    Please check your email and provide me with the requested log files so we can resolve the issue you encounter.

  • Hi,


    I have followed the above steps with a tech on the phone in order to resolve a conflict with the new 2010 upgrade, but I still have problems. Bitdefender is currently non-functional and has been for a few days. The tech on the phone said he would have a more advanced tech email me later. That was a week ago. Any help would be appreciated. Here is a rough idea of my issue:


    -I completely removed bd 2009 with the uninstall tool.


    -Installed and updated Antivirus 2010


    -I don't have any other antivirus types of software installed


    -I'm running XP Pro


    -1st issue: windows would not open... blue screen with stop error message. I restarted and opted to start with the "last known configuration that worked."


    -After a few days windows started running without the initial blue screen error, but now bitdefender will not start. The vsserv.exe is not running.

    Kind regards,


    Just wanted to let everyone know that our problems with BitDefender were never resolved. We followed all instructions given to us in this forum, through emails and via telephone. We spend countless hours on this. Finally, we uninstalled BitDefender. We purchased and installed Norton AntiVirus 2010 and it's working perfectly.
