Hi. In your test setup, the behavior might not happen for a few days, but I'm sure it will happen. I have had it happen on two different computers under 3 separate operating systems now, and it happens on each. When I first noticed this, it was happening every day - some random settings would change themselves. Then it…

Hi, I disagree that this is posted in the wrong forum, as the Updates are what are causing the changing options. No, read the entire thread - I am not specifically posting in reference to IDS options. Many different options in all areas of the program are changing when updates occur. Sometimes the IDS changes, sometimes…

Thanks for the feedback. Just came here now to report another change. I have IDS enabled normally. After some update, since my previous post (I just checked all the settings again today), I found that IDS was disabled. From expert view, on the left, click Antivirus, then Advanced Settings, and IDS tab. The box was…

booted up the laptop earlier this evening and the software updated "last update: 5/30/2011 7:23:31 PM" and the following settings were changed: General > Settings > Virus Report Settings were both enabled. they were disabled previously. :|

went a few days with the options staying the same as i set them, but today the "scan incoming email" option was checked after an update. kinda funny too, since it checked that one, but not anything else like outgoing email or IM traffic would really be nice to have a "lock" option for settings, so that nothing could change…

Thanks. I have just responded to the email with the requested information. Just as a note, after today's automatic update, there were at least 3 options in the software that turned on by themselves, which I had disabled (unchecked) before. They are: chat encryption, scan yahoo messenger traffic, and scan windows live…

And today's update checked the box: Scan incoming email. It didn't check the outgoing email box, just the incoming. Lol. this is such a strange program.

What web browser are you using to do the download? Are you using any kind of download manager program? What type and speed internet connection do you have? Is that the complete error message? If there is more, please post the exact message or include screen shot of the error message window. The full-file direct download…

Can't edit my previous post but after running the uninstall tool in safe mode, rebooting into regular mode, then rebooting again into regular mode, and installing from the full file, i still get the installation failed window on the "please wait while the bitdefender installer is configured ..." window. :| it just won't…

I really love this antivirus and would like to continue using it but the updates changing my options has me worried. I really dont' want to have to check it every day. The latest update though, 4/23/2011 @ 4:25pm did not change any of my settings (that I'm aware of). Anyone care to comment? Has anyone else checked their…

the update today, 4/22, turned Identity Control back on. when i installed the product, i was asked which modules or whatever to install. the ones i enabled were: antivirus, product notification alerts, automatic updates, and bitdefender news.

Just got another update today, 4/21. Here's what's changed: Options > Preferences: Identity control is turned back on. General > Settings: Show BitDefender News is checked (was unchecked before). Seriously, what do I have to do with this software to make it save my settings day to day? I really hate having to go into it…

another buggy thing about the program is that the Statistics shows nothing except "Last Scan" - every other category is 0. it is like this on both my windows XP 32bit computer and my windows vista 64bit computer.

another thing I just noticed. i have it set to update every 24 hours. (default was every 1 hour...why is that so frequent?) anyway, it updated this morning just after 10am, and then the computer was powered off for 7 or 8 hours. i just looked and it updated again at just after 7pm. so, why is it updating even when i tell…

New user of Bit Defender Pro antivirus 2011. My computers are vista and xp, both current with service packs and windows updates. I did a new install of BD on each and for the past few days have experienced the same things on both computers. It seems that whenever there's an update to BD, the options are reset. For…
