I've used BitDefender for many years now without problems but the long-term quality of a product is often proportional to that of its vendor support. Imagine the following analogous scenario: I take my car in for a service and the dealer applies the latest software build to the Engine Management System. That update…

OK, thanks, Roxana. So before I try the 2020 version, can you confirm that this particular bug was identified (if so, what was the cause?) - and its resolution is included in the 2020 version? You say that *most* of the issues in BD 2019 have been solved. Which ones are outstanding - and when do you expect to resolve them…

^ No, Roxana did NOT confirm this - we were asked to try the 2020 version to test whether the problem persists or not. Besides which I am deliberately not an early adopter of new versions of software: I don't have the time to deal with the new issues that often occur with them. Much safer and less hassle to be fashionably…

Well if you can assure me that the cause of the bug has been found and the resolution for it included in the 2020 version, then I'll try it. As far as I can see, nobody from BitDefender has formally acknowledged the existence of the problem, identified its cause and fixed it...? As such, the best "fix" at the moment would…

Ignore the above theory: lost connectivity again!

Hi Roxana, I haven't tried BitDefender 2020 - would rather the 2019 version was fixed than risk a new product that may have problems of its own, sorry! Meanwhile... There is still a problem with Build 23.0.24.120 of BD 2019 for me... but I've begun to notice that occasionally when I receive pop-up notifications from…

Interesting, TipTopTom - thanks. I'd suggest waiting 72 hours - although it's happening to me once a day on average, I have had occasions when the connection has remained up for almost three days. Anyway I take it that during the month that BitDefender was removed, you saw no recurrence of the issue at all?

Hi folks, I am having the same problem, ever since downloading Build 23.0.24.120 for BitDefender Internet Security 2019 last month (July). I don't know for certain that it is BitDefender that's causing the issue, only that it started happening within a couple of hours of rebooting my PC after taking the download. I've…
