Bitdefender Blocking Websites

Can you provide a number of sites that are blocked so we can test this?

Hello,

I too am having the same problem with BitDefender blocking yahoo and google both. How do I prevent this from happening?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I've been having that same problem for the last few months. The only cure for when it does happen seems to be rebooting.

It usually doesn't happen unless I've been running Windows Media Center to watch movies on the Xbox. It doesn't always happen, but when it does it was just after shutting down Media Center then going to random favorite webpages. Today Google.com was blocked which I thought was kind of funny.

I keep my definitions updated and let the system scan run at least once a week, but I know that this isn't due to a virus or the like.

I'll try to provide more info if needed.

BTW...running Windows 7 Ultimate if that helps.

I am also getting this

This web page has been blocked by BitDefender Antivirus Real-time Protection!

It is random, no particular pages and no other programs running.

Win 7 64bit home prem.

This started for me about 2 days ago, it started as small video boxes or newsclips and now I will get it on a web page, I run both firefox (just updated it) and IE8, windows7 64bit version. Its random for what sites and it goes away if I reload the site, sometimes I have to reload the browser for things to work.

I ran a scan offline to see if it was a virus but that wasn't the case. I have also been seeing a lot of cookies needing to be deleted each time I ran the scanner anywhere from 24-40 advertisement cookies, I run a full system scan about twice a week.

Hello all,

The situation should be fixed by now.

Please make sure that your BitDefender is up to date and if the problem persists post here the number of virus signatures (you will find this info in expert mode -> update module).

Problem still exists

Still not working, randomly blocking different sites. Everything is up to date.

Same problem and it only started happening. Very very annoying.

Also, my homepage doesn't open at all and instead is nothing but some sort of code. This has occurred exactly at the same time as the bitdefender problems and I've reinstaleld bd, it's definitely bd.

My homepage:

㱴楴汥㹄剕䑇䔠剅偏剔′〱ㄦ⌱㜴㬼⽴楴汥㸍਼䵅呁⁈呔倭䕑啉嘽≘ⵈ敡摬楮敳∠䍏乔䕎吽∶〢㸍਼獣物灴⁴祰攽≴數琯橡癡獣物灴∾ഊ㰡

This started happening to me with IE in Windows 7 64-bit. Very annoying!! When will this be fixed so I can continue to use BD?

I went and created a forum account just now because I'm having this same issue. BD is blocking all my sites at about a 80% frequency. Also I got the issue earlier today that rOB300 described with my homepage giving me Chinese looking cuneiform lettering all down the page. Strange stuff.

Win 7 64bit home premium

This is really getting out of hand. Occasional web pages were being blocked and that was ok because when you follow a link you're never quite sure where you're going, but now pages like google.com are being blocked and it seems like the problem just gets worse and worse. I have taken the advice from a previous thread and disabled http scanning, but BD really has to step up and address this. Its like the real time http scanning is either gone crazy or is finding a ridiculous number of false positives.

Edit: As previous poster noted, I couldn't even register for these forums until I disabled the http scanning. I could get to the registration page, but it would always block the security code (the code would never display no matter how many times I refreshed/reloaded).

BD Internet Security 2011, last update 20 minutes ago: Engine version 7.34455, Virus signatures: 6404231

Windows Vista, SP 2 (32 bit).

Please don't make me drop this and go buy something else...

Disabling anitphishing, the add-in or completely through the bitdefender control panel didn't make a bit of difference for me.

The last poster did remind me that today it also blocked wikipedia, mycokerewards among others I listed and have forgotten at the moment.

I'm having this issue as well.

Windows action center reports that BD Firewall is off and I get blocked websites.As soon as I enable BD Firewall sites are no longer blocked.

So, maybe firewall has to do with blocked sites issue????

thanks

EDIT:Just wanted to inform that both issues are now resolved after running BD repair tool and updates.

thanks

DanyDan just recently posted this pinned topic with a resolution. Please follow his instructions and post your results in that topic.

Thank you,

I am still having this issue. Updated today and rebooted. Still there ... ? O.K. web addresses, how about google.com hotmail.com many others. The odd behavior here is that if you refresh a few times bit defender will decide to stop blocking the page. I mean realy folks. If this was not a programming error could that happen? How about a little more feedback from YOU BIT DEFENDER instead of just an ocasional post stating that the problem that is STILL OCCURING is fixed. We would like to know you are aware of the problem and are actively addressing it. After all, we are paying you for a service.

Just started doing it again.

Hi,

Please tell me if:

- you updated BitDefender;

- the number of Signatures and Engine version;

- what browser are you using

- all the pages currently blocked (FULL link);

- a screenshot of the notification you receive

- the status of the Scan HTTP traffic option in Antivirus -> Custom Level;

- have you cleared your cache and temporary internet files and folder.

Thank you.

This problem is a pain in the A**

-I updated BitDefender and rebooted.

-O.K. Screenshot included for your viewing pleasure.

-HTTP traffic scan enabled.

-I have cleared my cache and temporary internet files to no avail.

I would like to add the included screenshot of the notification shows the exact notification given for many, many websites. This is given as I stated before intermittently and the page can be viewed by refreshing a rediculously large amount of times. I will also try to add websites as I run acrost them and as I have time as the number is quite large.

This is getting ridiculous.

One minute, it works fine, refresh the page only to find it blocked.

Also finding a whitelisted site blocked which should never happen.

BD is always updated

Same pic of error as above

www.forums.steampowered.com will be ok then suddenly blocked while whitelisted.

This is my opera speed dial after a refresh:

I'm having the same problems as I mentioned above just not as often. If I hit reload then the site being blocked will eventually load. I have noticed page elements with the bit defender blocked message(A page loads but a portion is blocked by bit defender). Is this going to get fixed soon, otherwise I need a refund I don't have the time or patience to deal with this problem...

Hello everyone,

We have made some final adjustments on our servers and the issue should be now resolved. The pages are blocked by the Real Time Protection and NOT by the Antiphishing module.

I would recommend you all to have the 'Scan HTTP traffic' disabled in the Antivirus -> Custom Level.

If however still encounter this issue please report it back.

I personaly find this statement disturbing. The HTTP traffic scan is a function we have paid for and as such the answer should not be to disable it. If this company is unable or unwilling to fix the function that we have paid for then possibly our money would be more welcome elsewhere and a refund would be in order. I do hope that the "final adjustments" are actualy a fix this time because the HTTP traffic scanning is a function that I expect from an AV. Without this function the program is lacking and it would be time to move to a more serious company.

That being said I truly do hope that this time we can expect a fix because besides for this issue this program has been one of the best AV's I have dealt with. It has a well thought out interface and tends to catch the bad programs before they become a problem. This of course has been partly to do with the HTTP traffic scanning function.

To: DanyDan

I apologize but it appears the point has been missed. Let me be more specific. The point here is that this is a feature we have paid for. We want this feature to work. End of story. We gave money to your company for this program and an update service; now we would like the program to perform as advertised. The question of this feature being important to you is second to that.

Secondly in the world of security overlapping layers of protection are considered a benefit. If I wanted a program with minimalistic features I would have bought a solution from a competitor at a much cheaper price. I want the redundant features that have been offered with this program. I also appreciate the fact you do not believe I understand how your program works so I have read your manual again as suggested. I still feel the same as prior to reading the manual. I want the features I have paid for. If there is some bit of information in the manual I have missed explaining why this portion of the program is offering me no additional layers or levels of protection please feel free to explain as my knowledge of your program is not all inclusive however, an explanation that a different layer will catch it anyways is not an acceptable solution for me. I like redundancies.

I understand that disabling the faulty portion of the program is only a recommendation but when we are not seeing an actual solution it is still frustrating for us. I thank you for the suggestion but would like to suggest that next time if this is only a temporary idea please let us know that a permanent solution is in the works and that it is in fact only a temporary work around. If you do not communicate with us what is going on we do not know.

On that note I am going to attempt to update, clear cache, and reboot hoping that the bugs have been worked out.
