  • Found it! It's being delivered or triggered by Spybot Search and Destroy 2. I upgraded SSD from version 1.6.2 at the weekend and that's when this Bitdefender Threat Scanner message started to appear. As soon as I tried to stop the SSD scanner service, this message popped up on the desktop and couldn't be removed without a…
    in Bitdefender Threat Scanner Error Comment by MH2 January 2014
  • I don't know where else to post this. I thought about installing Bitdefender Free, but I'm pretty sure I never installed it, and I don't see any trace of it on my system. But I was shutting down my Windows 8.1 system one day, and on the "Shutting Down" screen, all of a sudden an alert box appeared and said something like:…
    in Bitdefender Dump File When It Wasn't Installed Comment by MH2 November 2013
  • I can't believe that nobody at Bitdefender can give me an answer. Just another reason to not use their software. It might be too late for you; but I noticed the same/similar issue (note: I'm using Windows XP SP3)... Since having 'BD AV Free' installed, I had installed 'Ad-Aware 11 Free' (uses BD AV engine), and very…

  • How do I disable gzserv.exe? The service is always running and is probably designed to be protected from anything (e.g. malware) trying to 'disable' it. You can temporarily switch off real-time protection by switching 'Virus Shield' to OFF in the user interface. How do I disable scanning of particular files and/or folders?…

  • All problems are now solved with your kindness and brillance, thanks to you again! Cool! I'm pleased to hear that my "kindness and brilliance" has helped.

  • Additionally, if you don't mind me acting in my own interest, should this feature is working as intended, please instruct me on how to restore the quarantined file. I have full control of the file, according to the file's properties panel, though I cannot modify the file in any manner, includes uploading the file to…

  • You might find the explanation here... http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=48775 Particularly, note the third message by 'ipstefan' . Possibly, you might be in a country that 'BD AV Free Edition' was not intended for?
    in How To Install The English Version Instead Of Romanian Comment by MH2 November 2013
  • Oops, my error... ...Wikipedia's reference actually says that Ad-Aware had previously used Avira's AV engine (not AVG as I said) - which may be why they don't compare their new Bitdefender based version against Avira's Free AV - perhaps either out of respect for their former partner, or maybe because Avira's results would…
    in Quick Autoscan Has Not Run Since 10/21 Comment by MH2 November 2013
  • Reboot the system prevent some errors that can cause due to malware attack. There was no 'malware attack' - just the bugs in the Bitdefender AV Free Edition software. My PC had been fully scanned, in depth, by both Avira AV and the Bitdefender AV (the later by both 'Deep Sweep' and a manual full scan), and there never has…

  • Oops, my error... ...[edit]... I'm now trying out 'Ad-Aware 11 Free Antivirus+' - largely based on its now using the Bitdefender Anti-virus/malware 'engine', and they are 'claiming' this new version has significantly better detection figures than both Avast and AVG, and suggesting it should "... closely match Bitdefender's…

  • Log panel button works. I have had problem with that in the past and am aware that others have had constant problem, but I have not. Turned virus shield off and Security Center does not register a problem - no popup and SC indicates protection is on. Log registers virus shield being turned off and on. On my system the…

  • A final warning/advice - that could save some people even more potential problems... Do Not try to 'Repair or Uninstall' the Bitdefender software while it is actually running in the semi/malfunctioning state that I've previously described. I would strongly advise - whereever possible, it would be better/safer to re-boot…

  • Right - I've established a clear, and reproducible, sequence of events.... 1: A few minutes or so after freshly booting-up the PC, Bitdefender checks for and applies any new 'virus definitions'. 2: Approximately 1 hour later, Bitdefender checks again for any new 'virus definitions' and then almost immediately afterwards it…

  • Windows XP SP3; BDAVF 1.0.21.1099 Update and virus shield seem to be working. No quick autoscan since 10/21; no deep autoscan since 10/15. Another post indicated that quick scan should happen at least daily. Any suggestions? It may be happening, but not being 'logged'. (?) Have you read my later message posts in this…

  • I'm giving up - time to get rid of this Bitdefender Free (again). Despite the update to the version 1.0.21.1099, and despite the 3 further 'product updates' that each require a system reboot, all the problem I first reported still remain AND I've observed even more problems.... ***I've noticed that when Bitdefender is in…

  • Update: Just in case anyone might be interested - I've decided to persevere and am giving Bitdefender Free another chance. Here are a few things I can report... I uninstalled my first Bitdefender Free without any problems or issues, just by using the Windows XP 'Add and Remove Programs' route (didn't need the special BD…

  • Is it easy & safe to uninstall Bitdefender without using any special app for it? Well it 'ought to be' - although there's always a possibility that there might be some undocumented issue that using a specially provided tool helps with. I recently uninstalled Bitdefender Free Edition from Windows XP-SP3 using the normal…

  • I recently installed Bitdefender Free, and after its first deep clean, it reports that it found 6 infected files, but I can't see them anywhere. Report: http://imgur.com/HVj656u File List: http://imgur.com/4hkmb5T Thread Control: http://imgur.com/071HxRQ What's the deal? Which files were they and did BD remove them? If so,…
    in Infected Files Comment by MH2 November 2013
  • 1. I never said it was released in the last century. I said it was designed in the last century. It was released as you stated in 2001 bit coding for it surely began before 2000 and the design even before that. 2. I used to use avast! up until about a year ago. Maybe 70% of the problems with avast 7 reported on their forum…
    in Bd Free Version 1.0.18.1071 Comment by MH2 October 2013
  • Seriously I am surprised that they are still supporting an operating system designed in the last century. I don't mean to denigrate Windows XP but Microsoft is no longer supporting it. Since XP-SP3 Microsoft has come out with 1. Vista 2. Vista-SP1 3. Vista-SP2 4. Windows 7 5. Windows 7-SP1 6. Windows 8 7. Windows 8.1 That…
    in Bd Free Version 1.0.18.1071 Comment by MH2 October 2013
  • I've noticed that BD Free 1.0.18.1071 has been announced but I have yet to see an update from 1.0.18.1069. When do you expect it to be released? Also, does this update fix the Logs button not working consistently? Well, even two months and a couple of versions on, at version 1.0.21.1099, the 'Logs' button does not work…
