Understood. I must confess to always logging in as Administrator even though it's not recommended, to keep life simple! But I come back to the point that I can't get out of stealth mode. Is there an "Administrator" mode in BD other than 'manual' mode? Right click on the BD Icon and on "Run As Administrator". Go to the…

indie - by changing the settings as an administrator on win 8. what did you intend? i enabled the local admin account, logged on to it and made sure that the paranoid option is on. anything else? thx Right click on the BD Icon and on "Run As Administrator". Go to your "Paranoid Mode" and turn it on. It should work.

The problem was resolved. It's not BitDefender's fault. I've noticed that my CPU, Disk, Ethernet, and Firewall peaks are almost identical. If I turn BitDefender off, the other diagrams - Disk, Ethernet, and Firewall - remains the same. It meant that BD was simple reacting to some Ethernet/Internet activity. I had only two…

hello there, i'm using my bd ts 2013 firewall with paranoid mode one, kinda "paranoid" indeed, but i like to keep in control with what wants to go online. once in a few pc restarts (haven't found a pattern) i see that the the paranoid option is showed "off", although i wasn't the one turning it off. using win 8 64x. is it…

Thanks for the input indie. I'm away from home at the moment but will use your recommendations when I get home. . However, I still wonder why I can't turn off being in stealth mode, which I feel is key to my problem. It may be I'll have to do a re-install, but thanks for taking the trouble to email. On the Windows 8…

vsserv.exe is still going stronger. Simply unstoppable. Something is really messed up. Could BD technical team help me with the issue?

Christian, in your article "How To Create A Zone In Bitdefender Firewall" you advise on the settings for the network type. However I can't change any of the values. For the Stealth mode, I can see the options are Remote/On/Off yet the setting remains fixed at Remote whatever I select. I'm running Windows 8/64 and trying to…

What is the difference between IDS and HIPS? http://www.wilderssecurity.com/showthread.php?t=306237 "HIDS = Hostbased Intrusion Detection System (your computer) HIPS = Hostbased Intrusion Prevention System NIDS = Network Intrusion Detection System (network)" "Both are system/desktop based protection, but HIPSs rely mostly…

Here is my CPU performance log. I'm really going to shut BD down. I followed Christian's advice and disabled On access Scanning. http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?showtopic=31526 No more annoying noise. At least temporarily.

I've checked my BD Firewall Network Activity. It shows that peaks of net.activity correspond with the louder/quieter noise of my computer. My Network Activity picture is posted above. I could not edit my previous posting. Don't ask me why. Here is my CPU performance log. I'm really going to shut BD down.

I've restarted my computer but the noise swinging from louder (CPU 10%) to quieter (CPU 8.1%) continues. Something is happening to BitDefender AV. I've checked my BD Firewall Network Activity.

How can I stealth the individual port for a particular application, even if I set the Stealth Mode in the manage adapter option to OFF. Are you sure that it's not your gateway, modem, or router that is keeping the individual port open. In other words, if I go to grc.com - ShieldsUP!, it tells me that my Port 23 and Port 80…

Hi Georgia, I think the question remains, to what standard does the BD File Shredder comply? I have a tool called Eraser, which will erase and overwrite files up to 35 times, for the pathologically paranoid! Can you give any further details, such as how many times the BD shredder overwrites? Thanks. No answers - no use of…

Having the same problem. I get a notification daily that the update requires a reboot to complete. Seems to always occur about 20 minutes after a successful update. It would be nice if somebody from BitDefender could tell us about any updates that require reboot. Also, on Windows 8 you need to be logged-in as administrator…

Hello, Please apply the settings below and let me know if Windows smartscreen filter is working afterwards: - bring up the Bitdefender interface - click on Settings > Firewall > Settings tab - click on General rules > Windows Explorer traffic on HTTP > use the drop-down menu to select 'Allow' Looking forward to hearing…

I have the same issue. On my Windows 8 laptop, BitDefender Windows 8 Security informs me several times a day that it blocked a port-scan from either 192.168.1.1 (It's my main router, Linksys E4200) or from 192.168.1.118 ( the Linksys RE1000 Wireless-N Range Extender). I've had BitDefender for 6 months but those pop-ups…

To Georgia, What is with the "Group: Technical Support". I thought that the Bitdefender customers are not entitle to any answers from Tech Support. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Now, about your answer. (Nothing personal - strictly business.) It's…

Please do not worry bout it, buddy. This is related to Windows 8. It is still buggy, since this system is still really young. Bitdefender is working in the background stable. I can say it, because i have tested it. Greetings from Germany! That's what I saying. Don't worry - be happy. Otherwise, install free MSE.

g) Now reboot the PC and check if the issue reoccurs. I've stopped paying attention to those messages. Sometimes, I need to restart my computer twice in order to fix that issue. NOTHING ELSE, BUT REBOOT works. It's related to Windows 8 OS issues. Every other day, on my Windows 8 laptop I get a message that my BitDefender 8…

Hello indie, It seems that it's a false positive. If so, BD devs have to deal with it. The most annoying for me is the "found and deleted" action, without prompt or quarantine or whatever that allows user to deal with it. Is this your case? Is there, in events, any option to recover/restore this file? Because in some cases…

Hello Did you used Internet Explorer in the modern interface or the one from the desktop? Thank you! I used it from the desktop. Also, I've tried the BD sandbox utility with IE9 on my Win 7 computer with Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013 installed and did not have any problems. Just after I closed the sandboxed IE 9, I got a…

Vsserv.exe this core service, I can not see it from you. BitDefender Security Service is vsserv.exe

curious if this fixed the issue with vsserv. I am guessing not. I was told the same thing (download new version) still vsserv taking 90-100 of cpu Here is my CPU and Memory usage for BitDefender Windows 8 Security on Windows 8.

I have Windows 8 Security Antivirus. I've decided to try the sandbox function while using Internet Explorer 10. I tried the BD Sandbox with Firefox without ANY PROBLEMS. When I opened IE 10 and clicked on the dagger, my computer crashed with the following message:"Page fault in nonpaged area avckf.sys". After my computer…

If you were already asked to generate the log file, disregard the message above and just post the ticket ID. Have a nice day.

Thanks for signaling this to us. I will push to management and hopely I will implement it in the next updates. I will post here if the functionality will be approved or not (I think it will) and, most important, when. Regards, Cristian Thank you Cristian. It's very important to implement the "zoom in" feature in the…

Uninstall your BitDefender and temporarily use Windows Defender. To my regret, I needed to reinstall/refresh my 10-days old Windows 8 laptop. It crashed today, but I don't blame BitDefender Windows 8 Security for it. All my programs need to be reinstalled and all that bloatware - Norton AV, etc.. - needs to be uninstalled.…
