So, a different (and more recent) thread complaining about the IPM pop-ups was recently closed: Hello, there is already another topic about this request: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=43714 For now, the only way to stop the IPM's is to enter Game Mode, as all pop-ups and notifications are disabled when…

Interesting. Well, I guess the next question would be why are some people getting them, and others not? It also seems odd to me that no one (either regular posters, mods, or Bitdefender devs) commented to that effect in any of the threads I've read today? All the posts from those in-the-know just acted like it was a given?…

This has been a problem for a while, over a year at least, with vague promises to fix it. See here. Like I said in that topic, pop-up ads in a free product or trial version are to be expected, but this is a product for which I have paid money, and which is explicitly designed to STOP this sort of intrusive behavior, not…

I came here today because of this same pop-up ad. I've been very happy with the product and the level of support until now, but this is completely unacceptable. Pop-up ads in a free product or trial version are to be expected, but this is a product for which I have paid money, and which is explicitly designed to STOP this…

Um...this time, when I tried running a full system scan like I normally do, Bitdefender found no "z" drive, and the scan finished successfully. I have been keeping Bitdefender up to date, so I'm currently running: Virus signatures: 7900673 Engine version: 7.40657 There have also been windows updates since I last had the z…

Heh. I had actually sent the PM before you posted your response yesterday--I thought you had responded to it already. No rush, as long as I know the testing team is working on it. Thanks Christian!

Thanks for the information Christian; I appreciate it!

... *poke* ... anything?

A link to the requested log file has been sent via PM. Thank you Christian!

Apologies--I intended to post this in the "Antivirus" sub-forum. Feel free to move it if desired?

I already confirmed via email last week that the issue is solved, but I'm doing so here as well, just in case someone else visits this topic. Thanks for the fix--it's much appreciated!

It would be nice to be able to edit your posts... DanyDan, I just saw where you linked to instructions re: log files. Please let me know if you would like me to do that as well.

Hi there! I just discovered this thread. I'm having exactly the same issue with Outlook 2003, and I've been working around it for a few weeks by either switching off BitDefender when checking email (which sort of defeats the purpose), or cleaning out my mailbox via webmail, which is inconvenient. I entered a support ticket…

Hooray, it's fixed...that's a good thing, I agree. BUT, I'd still appreciate some sort of official word from BitDefender techs/coders regarding the cause of this problem, and what was actually done to (hopefully) fix it for good this time. Or is it something they're actually unaware of, that's just fixed periodically and…

I had this happen to me again this evening--one second everything was fine, and then one more click (on a different page within the same domain even) and all of a sudden the entire internet was being blocked. Couldn't access, for instance, Google, yahoo, etc. Setting protection level to "permissive" (i.e. turning off HTTP…

Something that might be helpful--I was having the same update problem some of you are having (404 message) with Bit Defender Total Security 2009, and 1. Update via Advanced View-->Update Tab-->"Update Now" button failed multiple times (404). 2. Update via Basic View-->Dashboard-->"Update Now" button failed multiple times…

Yep it is when firefox tries to download an update... BD isnt allowing it to update at all.. I was having the same problem ("virus-unknown"). After reading your post, I checked the Help-->Update menu in Firefox, and there was an "update" graphic there, just spinning away like crazy--seemed to be stuck. I went ahead and…
