yea... we've already tried that. didnt work. it even says so a couple of posts back

I use media center on my xbox. When i was connected on the xbox through media center, parental controls would block websites. I went into options and noticed that parental controls was set to on after connecting the xbox. When i turned it off the Parental Controls stopped blocking website. Mine already said off... wonder…

I got it to work by looking under options, then preferences, and setting parental control (current user) to off. It works with my xbox connected and streaming video, no blocked website thus far. is that using media center or just the xbox to stream the videos? mine only blocks when using windows media center...

@skturner: we are into the 4th month (open since 5th Dec 2010) now and BD have not come up with a solution. i really doubt they will even fix it before my subscription ends... lol and thats still another 4 or 5 months away... i'm tempted to just switch now... this is RIDICULOUS! NEVER have i been treated like this from any…

Hello, I have finished most of the tests and I can finally come with a workaround, as follows: Follow the steps below and let me know if the issue persist: 1. Restart the PC in Windows Safe Mode as explained below; 2. Locate the following file: pcontrol.XML - default location if BitDefender is installed on the C drive:…

Hello, To everyone having the issue with the website being blocked by Parental Control when using a Windows Media Extender please provide me with the following file so we can finish the fix and launch it: 1. Goto the following location considering BitDefender installed on the default partition C: C:\Program…

Hello, Let me get this right: everyone in here is having the Parental Control blocked website issue and everyone is having this error when using the XBOX to surf the Internet ? Are there any other situations when the websites are being blocked and NOT using the XBOX / Windows media extender ? @Kram: may I have the ticket…

Wow...over 2 months of complaints about this problem on this thread and DANYDAN has only managed to chastise posters and offer a workaround that does not work. I am only testing BITDEFENDER and have experienced the exact same problem everybody else is. I have a WMC Extender and I get blocked to just about any old random…

Exactly my point. this issue is DEFINITELY Related to using an xbox as a media extender, then it blocks sites till you turn off the media extender and reboot the computer. Bitdefender has been like this for YEARS and they STILL cant figure it out...... WHY WONT THEY FIX THIS... even if they do finally fix it, i highly…

Yes I do. Maybe it is a coincidence, but it does seem to occur after I have used the xbox as a media extender. I have set up BD 2011 at my fathers place, on his lap top, and he has no issues with parental controls blocking web pages. he does NOT have an xbox. I have also logged a support query with them last week (25/1). I…

I too have the same issue. Parental control is turned off for my account, but will block random pages. This occurs intermittently. The way I have overcome has been to restart my computer. I'm running Windows 7 Professional 64-Bit. Very annoying. Please help! Do you happen to use a Windows Media Extender?

Still blocks websites. i'm not viewing sites through the xbox. it only blocks sites when (or after) the xbox is being used as a media extender. i have always had the ip address unblocked. No update from bitdefender on this... problem still hasnt been solved.

Hi and Happy New Year everyone ! No, I did not get offended that easily Regarding your statement and allow me to quote: - you would be amazed how many users are missing the scroll to see all Windows usernames however they come complaining that they have issues even with the Parental Control disabled. When you show them…

Guess DanyDan got offended at my response. i doubt this is going to get fixed...

I am yet another person who suffers from this problem. I added my 360 to my Media Center Extender list thingy today, and random sites are now being blocked as well. This problem did not exist before today (also, BitDefender seems to block the 360 Media Center Extender thing, too. Skimmed a thread about unlocking ports and…

since you wanted an expert view of parental controls module so bad. eventhough it was stated that our problem is related to it being disabled but still blocking. here it is...

Please…

i'm using Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit with Bitdefender Total Security 2011 usually the xbox will work if you just share the video's and watch them. you still have access to websites. BUT if you use the media center on the xbox thats when it starts blocking sites. id rather not use MC, but just going through video's doesnt…

this happens alot with me also. parental controls are disabled, but it still blocks the sites. even if i add the site to the exclusions. it still doesnt work. if i use my xbox 360 to media extend using windows media center to my tv... about half of the sites i normally go to are blocked. only if i turn off the xbox and…
