The New Version Is As Bad As The Old Versions
I tune in here about once or twice a year, just to see how BD has improved since I paid for version 2008. It was so troublesome that BD 2009 was offered free to be the final solution to all the problems. Didn't work, I went back to 2008 until my license expired. Later I read that BD was urging users to switch to 2010…

Just Checking In After 4 Months Away.
Hi folks: After almost two years of BDIS I decided to try a different solution to Internet Security. That was about 4 months ago when I uninstalled BD for the last time, I was getting fairly good at doing that. At that time I installed a different brand of Internet Security. It installed in less than 5 minutes and has…

Xp, Ms Updates Being Stopped
" /> For whatever reasons my XP & other MS updates are being stopped from installing. BDIS 2008 seems to be the cause and I can't find a solution. My year of BD torment ends in about six weeks so maybe a solution isn't as important as it should be. Any suggestions for now? Thanks Fungus

Brand New Av Ratings Available
Today I received my June 2009 issue of Consumer Reports, it rates computer security software again, just like last year. As you recall last year, BDIS-2008 was a big winner in the CR ratings, that is how I decided to buy BD, 2008 that is. Realizing that software changes faster than lawnmowers do, CR looked again at…

Bd Scan Engine Same As Kaspersky ?
In another current BD 2009 discussion there is a mention that "...ZoneAlarm uses Kasperky's antivirus scanning engine." On first reading this I am doubting that this is correct. As I think about how difficult producing scanning engines must be, I start to wonder if there isn't some, if not much, "code sharing" going on. If…

Bitdefender Behavioral Scanner Alerts
Yesterday I posted that on my computer that Microsoft XP (sp3) had informed me that a dangerous condition in my computer required a certain software be shut down. That "rogue" software was identified as BDIS-2009. XP shut it down very quickly and left my computer running great but without BD. I'm going to call this "Round…

Bdis-2009 Says "never Have Scanned Computer"
My latest problem with BDIS-2009 is that BD announces that I have a problem, do I want to fix it now? I say "yes" and BD tells me I have never scanned the computer. This is dead wrong. I have scanned it with all of the optional scans such as "full", "deep" and etc. The next time I boot up I get the same false warning. A…

Bdis-2008 Forgets Data?
I have BDIS-2008 (ver 11.0.17) running and today it has suddenly asked me some questions that were answered when I first installed it, such as: 1. Is the network I am on a home "safe" environment, or a public environment? 2. Can Firefox be trusted to access the internet? These have been established for many months and now…

Wow, New Upgrade To Bdis-2009 Screws Me :-(
Today I started my spare computer to make sure it gets the various upgrades needed to keep it current. I do this every few weeks. This spare is the only computer I have that works with BDIS-2009, the others will only work with 2008. Imagine how pleased I was to see BD do a large update followed by a sad little BD Icon…

Here Is Something New
Even though I know better, I tried one last time to fix BDIS-2009 on my spare computer. BD can't do scans. :-( I ran the removal tool, rebooted, ran it again. I then ran the installer for the newest version on the BD web site. Things went well, with only one bug popping up during install. After it was installed and did its…

Turning Off "ping" (echo)
Help with BDIS 2008 needed. I can't turn off ICMP ECHO (ping). I do go to the Settings, Firewall, Advanced, and click "Block all ICMP Traffic" but ping answer remains active. I have been testing this with http://www.grc.com/default.htm ShieldsUP. I would expect the blocking of all ICMP traffic to stop my computer from…

Bdis2009 Update 12-0-11 Causes Problems With...
I posted this a few days ago however a reply seems to have implied that this is fixed, it isn't fixed. Help still needed. A few days ago BD did an update (XP pro/SP3) and greeted me with a "Must reboot now" order. Okay, I rebooted and went happily on my way until I started using Thunderbird Email and notice that the BD…

Bdis-2009 Update 12-0-11 Caused Failure.......
This morning BD did an update (XP pro/SP3) and greeted me with a "Must reboot now" order. Okay, I rebooted and went happily on my way until I started using Thunderbird Email and notice that the BD Spam Toolbar is a.f.u. In my InBox the BD spam toolbar is now absent and trying to cause it to show doesn't work, the item is…

Bd Update Problem
The BDIS update failure issue has bugged me for a week now. I use two XP SP3 machines that update fine, and one W-2000 machine that never updated. Here is what I did: After many times of manually starting update, I began to notice the name of the file that hung during attempted updates. Often the next update attempt began…

I have BDIS2008 and to solve a problem I want to upgrade to 2009. This is a 3 computer license. Exactly what needs to be done? I suspect I first delete 2008 and then install 2009. What about the license transfer to 2009? Fungus
