Events Overview works fine for me on Windows 8. Relax, it could be worse. Last night I got so tired of restarting after updates that I decided to uninstall BDIS until whatever it was settled down. I then installed a demo version of a less effective AV product line which announced it's 2014 products yesterday and had…

I think this needs a new thread instead of a necro thread from 3 months ago ! This thread started first week of July. Its September. Is it just the way the software works? Is it an un-fixed old bug? Is it a new bug? WTF is it??? I just got I think my 8th restart update of the day! If it's a new version/build at least put…

I don't get it. Is the rebooting requirement for all these updates a bug or do they really require a reboot. Getting a little annoying. What are in the updates that requires a reboot? I s there a changelog somewhere?? So i would at least know why I have to keep interrupting my work to reboot.

Sorry to hear about that. If you decide to reconsider our products please post back at anytime and we will assist you further. Thank you for taking the time and please do not hesitate to contact us if you need further details from us. I re-installed BDIS and it completed a full scan last night :-) Changes made before…

Hello hawki, There are many reasons why the scan would hang. Please try following the steps from this knowledge-base article, restart Windows then check if the Bitdefender system scan works: http://www.bitdefender.com/support/How-do-...mance-1017.html Feel free to reply to this thread if the issue persists afterwards. Have…

I can not view my Quarantine. In Settings>AV there is no quarantine tab. NVM I Found It :-)

Perhaps a huge file that the CPU utilization went 100% utilized. But how long did you wait for the scan to finish? It happened again last night. A system scan got stuck at 69%. The elapsed time clock showed 1 hr 8 min and was not advancing and the scan was started 4 hours earlier. Files being scanned showed 1/s. I have…

Maybe just try a couple of manual updates and reboots. Sounds simplistic I know, but at times a couple of reboots may help. Hi columbo Thanks . I did get another auto update OK. But would that have fixed any errors from the firtst auto update? [The first auto update after the big update after you install] I guess that's…

The problem that caused me to start this thread happened again. So I did a safe mode uninstall and reinstalled it. I got the first initial update OK. After the reboot I tried to do another manual update. There was a 9K+ update. When the update window closed there was an indicator for an event. The event was for the last…

I'm not sure if is the same problem but starting today I cannot access any secure sites with Firefox. I get an invalid Peers Certificate error page. For example, when I try to access my email I get the following message: "Secure Connection Failed An error occurred during a connection to www.xxxxmail.fm. Peer's certificate…

correct. by default the updater checks every 15 mins for databases. and every 60 for program updates. if nothing found, nothing logged or downloaded. if something found, logged and downloaded. when prompted you will need to restart for program updates. as and when this happens there will usually be a red 1 on the widget.…

good, you may need to restart the computer if you haven't already to complete the update process. then if you click about (taskbar tray icon menu) it should show version 17.16.0.729. once you have that, you are bang up to date. yes I do post on that other AV forum still as I still maintain the other vendor's product…

Hi hawki, The auto-renewal feature could be enabled only for orders placed on our official website www.bitdefender.com, which are processed by Avangate and Digital River (Global Commerce), authorized vendors of Bitdefender products. I checked your Bitdefender account. Rest assured the automatic renewal is not active for…

The last available auto update failed. By coincidence I oprened my BDIS while an auto update was "running." The GUI showed like an update of 9,300 or 93,000 but nothing was downloading and then the window closed. I checked my log and it does not show that update. Then I tried to manually update with update now but it…

Hi...Without knowing who the 3rd party seller was, its hard to give you a definitive answer. As far as Avangate goes, if you wish to cancel the Auto Renewal, you must first open an Avangate account. Once logged in to your new account, you will find an option to cancel the auto renewal process. It is enabled by default. I…

Did you run both the 2013 and the New Bitdefender uninstall tools in windows safe mode? If not, give it a try before reinstalling. Hi :-) No I did not run the uninstall in safe mode :-( I never had BDIS 2013 on my machine. My last security program was of another compnay who's current 2014 version is much too buggy on my…

Both my manual and auto updates are broken. They get stuck running with 00.000 Update and 00 Download and the blue update indicator on my gadget stays blue. There is no way to stop it. Stop update does not work. While this is happening my PC is useless because it slows down to a crawl, and not just anything related to the…

Dear BitDefender, I've been using your software since 2011, and you still insist on reporting cookies as viruses -- see picture: (You've labelled a DoubleClick (a Google company) cookie as a virus. I doubt Google will respond well to accusations that it's distributing viruses). Your behaviour is misleading because cookies…

I spent some time looking for a good renewal deal. When I eventually found one I could not get past the Continuous Protection page. I could not renew unless I ticked the box to sign up to Continuous Protection and allow my details to be shared with a third-party, something I will not allow. This is worse than the…

Thank You for your advice :-) Now every port is stealthed with the New BD IS. Was there an update or is this some kind of adaptive behavior? Whatever it is I feel a lot better about the new BD IS now :-) I did disable Windows Media Player from my start-up but that does not explain why EVERY port is now stealthed which they…

To be fair, I've seen an identical thread opened in the last couple of days on the Kaspersky forum for the same situation with Internet Security. Basically the responses in the linked thread given as a response ranged from: 1. don't worry the test is out-dated and no longer reliable 2. make sure it is your computer being…

Port 554 is used by Windows Media Player Network Sharing Service. If its open to Sheilds Up can it be used as some kind of back door to be exploited by a hacker or malware . If it's open to Sheilds Up it seems it's open to anyone who scans for open ports. Could a hacker use it to plant some type of malware in Windows Media…

Interesting......With BD Windows 8 Security Port 554 is stealthed. With The New BD IS Port 554 was not stealthed and open.

Thanks Scott aka columbo for your very informative comparison. Does photon,while generally skipping what it learns to be trusted applications, still keep an eye on changes in them? If it does not scan them how does it do this? Does BD Windows 8 Security depend at all on the concept of Trusted Applications. Does it scan…

when i tested some malware on win 7 32 bit with bd 32 bit ...the IDS stopped the malware ....when i tested the same sample on win 7 64 bit with bd 64...did not stop it... so i think..there is a problem in this unit in version 64 bit best regards Did the anti malware components of BD IS catch the malware? Accorcing to…
