Greetings, This is a follow-up to the message I wrote on Oct 3rd, which received no response. The final question in that message was: >>Is this expected? Is this typical of AV program installs now? Is the install of BD AV supposed to increase hard drive usage by over 1/2Gb?<< I had to uninstall 2010. I cannot permit a…

Odd, I felt sure that I sent Valentin a message pertaining to this private message from forum user Angelik..., yet I cannot see a remnant of that sent message in my user area. I would appreciate someone from BitDefender heading for that rogue website to see if those of us who "like sheep" clicked that link need to do…

Hello Medic, I got the same thing, apparently. A private message from angelikzusa3 with a link to a **** site. I have sent reference to that website to Valentin in a private message. Do we need to report this to anyone else? Okay... Do we need to scan? Did we get hit by something new while our back was turned? Sheesh, I…

Hello "ptamper" and "The Taco Monster" I have brought notice to your responses/messages in this thread from those with whom I am presently in touch. I certainly see what I think are your valid concerns/comments and have enunciated them as I feel that they are reasonable. I have made what I think are some reasonable…

Hello Rob and Valentin, Thanks for jumping in Valentin -- I'm sure that Rob will appreciate the follow up. Yesterday I investigated and was happy to be put in contact with Vitor Souza and Valentin with the good help of Neil J. Rubenking of PCMag (http://www.pcmag.com). I drew Vitor and Valentin's attention to this thread…

10:46 PST BD did the same thing here nailing my FireFox: I quarantined nssutil3.dll which was reported as Trojan.Generic.1607990 (as with others who have reported above.) Incidentally, chat disconnected me before I had time to type more than a few words, i.e. they said they would contact me by email -- I wanted to chat,…

Hello Rob, I think you might be very correct...I think there are some big problems and they have probably been happening over a number of months. There 2009 version has seemed to have some big problems -- and there have been other wierd signs in the last number of months. They have gone from a very responsive worthwhile…

Hello again, I think I have answered my own question... I don't think this high mem usage by Firefox has anything at all to do with the BD anti-phishing tool. Just did some testing with the tool turned on and off. Sorry to trouble you on that, but I would be interested to have your thoughts on the value of the tool. Tink

Greeting Niels, I see that you are in Belgium? One of my fave countries My mom is from Belgium and I have spent much time there. Did you know that there is no better food in the world than that which is served in Belgium? Not in my opinion, that is. Now then, you seem to know about the anti-phishing tool. This is something…

Hello PCBugFixer, I just wanted to thank you for your great notes on the problem, the attempts to fix it, and the eventual fix. I, for one, REALLY appreciate the effort you took in writing/sharing the notes. The type of headaches that software problems like these can cause are manifold. For some of us who can slog our way…
