Vsserv.exe Running Even When System Is Not Idle
I have Autoscan enabled, and I expect vsserv.exe to run only when I am not using the computer, as stated in the documentation. However, this is not happening. It starts running and accessing the hard drive like mad even while I am using the computer. And once it starts, it does not seem to stop for quite a long time until…

How To Disable Pop-ups
This morning I got a huge pop-up from Bitdefender that took about a quarter of my monitor's size in the bottom right corner of the screen. It said in huge size characters "ACTIVATE something" (I think it was identity theft protection, or something with "THEFT" in it.) How can I disable these pop-ups? Please be consistent:…

"reboot Required" Alerts
I am running in Auto Pilot and Autoscan modes; As a consequence, I normally never open the Security Center. However, I noticed that some updates require a reboot, and may have been for several days. The reboots are set to Postponed in my settings, and this is as should be because I don't want to lose any work or interrupt…

Bitdefender Services Stopped Twice This Week
I have been running BDAV Plus 2012 since August, with the exception of a month or two when I switched back to v. 2011, and I never experienced Bitdefender services stopping in this version. But this week, the Bitdefender icon in the Notification Area turned gray twice, asking me to restart the computer because Bitdefender…

[resolved] Removing Gray Wart From Firefox & Internet Explorer
Some pages on Firefox 5.0 such as YouTube, Hotmail, Wikipedia show an ugly gray button on top of the page which expands to a "This page is safe" BDAV Plus 2012 subscreen with Sandbox, Settings and ON/OFF buttons. I do NOT want this gray wart to appear on top of the text or pictures I am browsing, but I can't find a way to…

Updates In Windows 8
Just thought this post on Windows 8 blog would be interesting for Bitdefender: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/b8/archive/2012/01...r-mobility.aspx There was one thread I can't find anymore where we discussed the possibility deferring updates for mobile broadband users until they could access a Wi-Fi spot and temporarily disable…

Scan Task Finished Successfully
I noticed this "Scan task finished successfully" antivirus event for the second time recently. I don't know if this Autoscan ("Continuous Scan") event is logged since a recent Bitdefender update or if I didn't notice it earlier because it was drowned in the hundreds of other Game Mode/Autoscan events, but I want to thank…

From: Probleme Autoscan Si Update
All I understood is "execrabil" and "enervau"... ^-^ Seems like I have a thing for Galician, already fixed the Miro player that had Galician in the French translations a few months ago... Man, please use Google Translate, you're in an English speaking forum: To begin with the first problem: AutoScan function, ie scanning…

Hundreds Of "autoscan Settings Changed" Alerts In 4 Days
I was giving another try to BDAV 2012, and today I noticed "99+" alerts or events (half green events, the other half red "critical" alerts). Sometimes these appear as frequently as every few seconds or minutes, quite regularly for the past 4 days since I installed v. 2012. Since the actual Autoscan settings haven't changed…

Automatic Game Mode Is Not Working?
I have set "Automatic game mode" to "OFF" in Settings|General|Game Mode. However, when I run a game, the Game mode still starts automatically. It generates an "Autoscan settings changed|Autoscan is off|Action: Autoscan was disabled" red alert in Events|Antivirus|Virus Scan. (And another event reenabling Autoscan after…

Auto Scan Is Not Working?
Auto scan is enabled, but after rebooting today, BDAV told me the scan has not been run for 8 days. See screenshot. I definitely want to know if the scan has not been run for 1 day, not waiting 8 days. How can I check if the scan is running and what is the percentage of my system that has been scanned? I thought with the…

Autorenewal Email - Phishing/fraud Email Pretending To Be From Bitdefender?
I received the following email sent to my registration account. It is sent from a fishy webhelp@digitalriver.com account. It has my correct name and order number, so I wonder what's happening. I also never chose to automatically renew my subscription (I highly doubt this is legal unless explicitly stated) and it's nowhere…

4 Links To Start Bdav, Really?
After I installed BDAV Plus 2012, I found no less than 4 links installed to launch it. * A link on my Desktop that I never asked to install. All decent software ask the user during Setup because many users don't want to clutter their Desktop; * A link with an incorrect name at the top of the All Programs Start menu; * A…

Settings Password Does Not Work
I set up a settings password in BDAV Plus 2012. However, I am able to modify settings without BDAV asking me for the password. I thought it might be because it's the same session and it "knows" it's me changing the settings. But the same thing happened today after a reboot, I modified some Privacy Control|Antiphishing…

Antivirus Daily Scheduled Time Corrupted
Since 6/25, BDA 2011 now starts scanning at 11:50AM instead of midnight. The scheduler still shows the task is scheduled for midnight (12:00AM) but it starts at 11:50AM regardless. I believe this has been caused by an automatic update that required rebooting. This already happened to me mid April, also caused by an…

[duplicate]"defender Of The Week" Pop-ups
For 2 days now, BitDefender 2011 displayed pop-ups for a "Defender of the Week" invitation. I thought a company who also develops an antispam feature would be more aware and behave better about unsollicited messages. Is there a way to disable this specific pop-up and all future pop-ups? It came back today even after I…

Remove Bitdefender Antiphishing Toolbar 2.0 Add-on From Firefox
Hi, this toolbar has been incompatible with at least the last 2 versions of Firefox, including the latest, 4.0. I have seen many threads in this forum about the same problem, and there's even a pinned topic about it here. Unfortunately, none of the solutions mentioned in these threads work: I don't have the folders or…

Export Mode Less Enabling Than Intermediate Mode
Hi, One aspect of the Expert mode is providing less information than the Intermediate mode, and as a result, I constantly have to switch between these 2 modes. Am I doing something wrong? This bug occurs when BitDefender detects issues: In Expert mode, the General Dashboard with then report "WARNING: 1 issue is affecting…

Vulnerability: Regular Windows Updates
Hi, BitDefender 2010 is not integrated with the Ultimate versions of Windows Vista and Windows 7: These "Ultimate" SKUs include about 35 language packs that are also listed as part of the regular updates. BitDefender needs to exclude these language packs (and also the few Vista Ultimate Bonus). There are some important…
