BD is doing its job!!, add exclusions or deactivate as said above.

No you can log out of BD central. I've found 2019 is looking light!

Reboot Pc/run there 2018 stand alone uninstall tool/reboot again/go to your BD central and DL 2019 following the prompts. Turn off/disable any other security software.

Im sure your Pc and programs have changed since then. Did you use there uninstall tool?, do a clean uninstall/reboot then dl.

Same here 23.0.8.20 is current at the time of this posting.

It must be something on your end I just updated 3 pc's this weekend (two w7,8.1,10) not one issue, hang in there they'll figure it out for ya.

I do not have that problem on my s5.

Thanks for the update but geez they couldn't have figured a server problem out a long time ago? It was stated here before.

Oh well I've got 351 days left on my license of another security suite so maybe in a year Bitdefender will get their act together ( and get a real support team). If not I'll just keep giving…

Still having the ridiculous slooow updates, Come on BD figure out what's on going here!!! on build 22.0.19.242.

That's not much at all realizing all the modules that are running. Any current PC running today with even 4gigs or RAM is plenty enough to run BD and…

Not sure why you think BD is the cause here, Myself and thousands of others received the same update as you did and have no issues. Sounds like your having a compatibility problem with programs on your PC. Contact support run there tool get them some logs and go from there.

Did you use BD uninstall tool? You need to use that not the control panel uninstall.

Let that sink in BD...someone deleted your security suite and replaced it with McAfee. I'd be embarrassed. And I'd be worried, McAcrap is…

I got a 5:36 update an hour after the initial update of this morning which took 14:33 although it was a program update that required a reboot. This in on a 100Mbps wired…

Agreed, This morning was bad, booting up from shut down over night it was easily 20 mins+

Yup I got all that too, hopefully it address the slow updates.

Same here, slow, long updates..

Are you using BD uninstall tool? then reboot then install?

I've been with BD for many years it's always been this way, the DL takes a long time especially in the mornings when first starting the Pc up from shut down. Today we had a major update with a reboot so it took a little longer today.

W10 i5 6gigs ram, 70% was the highest I seen throughout the update it was mostly under that, nothing terrible IMO.

Just checked wile updating on one of my w8.1 Pc's with 4 gigs ram nothing high to report all was well on that, will check others.

So you need to pay an additional price for this service despite a paid subscription? No thanks!! ill pass

I also have TS, just turn off any modules you don't want to use is a bout all you can do.
