Full scan progresses from 0 to 100 % pretty much straight through. It skips/jumps some numbers on the way up but so do most programs under those circumstances. I'm using the free version.

@ Nunzio d'Abbruzzo I have had no problems since the complete reinstall above. The engine has been updated a couple of times since but I don't know if that made a difference or not.

@wolw.. You're welcome. I was also close to switching A/V programs :)

Bitdefender tech support sent me a link to download an uninstall tool for their free version A/V. I ran it and then reinstalled the program afterwards. So far all seems ok... I've had no requests to reboot. http://www.bitdefender.com/files/KnowledgeBase/file/BD_Free_Uninstall_Tool.exe

I got a new response from Bitdefender tech support after I sent them another email letting them know others here have had the same issue and they had me run a support/diagnostic tool and send them the results. I will let you all know when I get more info once they have a look at the logs etc.

Nope. I sent an email to Bitdefender tech support yesterday and the response was... "Regarding your question, it is normal for some programs, especially programs that take care of your device's security, to ask for a restart after performing updates in order to configure properly. " Which is pretty ridiculous especially…

I've just started getting this reboot message on my free BitDefender, latest version, Win 7 system as well. I've rebooted using the Bitdefender GUI as requested but I have done it 3 times to no avail.
