Hello Adam, Please let us know if the issue persists with the latest build version 16.28.0.1789 (right click on Bitdefender icon from system tray-near the clock-and choose "About". You should see in the left side the build number). In order for the product update to be installed, you need to reboot your machine(you should…

I understand, and appreciate your honesty, as I have had the HP updater type of software before, and yes, they can be helpful. Maybe try the Samsung forum, if they do have one, or someone else here may have some ideas for you. I will track this thread, in case a thought comes to mind. So, this is the reply from Samsung…

I've put an email in to Samsung Support - although I don't hold out much hope as they didn't even have the model number of my laptop in their gargantuan drop down list... Kind regards Adam

Their system "updater" "troubleshooter" software, could be conflicting with Windows 8. It's again up to you, but you could either disable it in its settings, not have it start up from MSCONFIG services and start up, (also Administrator tools/Services), or uninstall it (checking to make sure you can re-download it from the…

You're welcome, it was gladly done I suppose every once in awhile you could re-enable the Action Center Security notifications, and see if it's been resolved by a BD update, or if the resolve is posted here on the forum. Cheers Scott Hi Scott, Well, unfortunately none of the above seemed to work. And I managed to capture…

As you probably are already aware of, either one of these 2, can make you Desktop life allot easier http://www.howtogeek.com/127699/6-start-me...-for-windows-8/ My laptop already has this built in. I think it is part of Samsung's software... Kind regards Adam

No problem, that is why I asked Run the Norton Uninstall tool: https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-supp...erProfile_en_us Restart your PC. Run the free version of CCleaner in Registry mode, and delete any leftover Norton keys that may be left, and run it in Sweep/Cleaner mode. Then look for any leftover Norton files in…

Did you want me to post the longer route of proper uninstalling of BD, and of running the Norton uninstall tool and reinstalling BD? It may not clear up all the Action Center messages, but maybe of the uninstalling of BD notification. I worry about uninstalling BD, especially as my laptop is permanently online. Is there…

Hi, Adam As you may have read, the communication between Windows Action Center and Bitdefender, can been an issue for some: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?sho...c=41034&hl= http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=39476 The thing that concerns me, is the part I highlighted in you post, are you still getting…

Sorry I may not have answered all of your concerns in my above post. Do you "need" to upgrade to Windows 8 (which is the 2013 Suite with all it's features) that may be a personal preference thing depending on the features you're looking for, i.e. Anti Spam, Parental Controls, Firewall, File Shredder. I like the full…
