Bitdefender Antivirus 2012 deleting its own EXEs without no reason
Yesterday i got a call of one of my client that he had some issues with his BD AV 2012. So i went there & checked what the problem was. The problem was that BD processes were running but the system tray icon was missing & when i tried to uninstall the Antivirus it show me that the MSI used for the installation is missing??
 then i went to programs & looked for main EXE. And it was missing too  & i was like what the hell is happening. So i downloaded the BD removal tool & was not able to remove it from the system  . Had to boot in safe mode & uninstall it from there I was not sure then too install it again because it was such a mess, So i installed norton(within 30 sec). updated it & run a full system scan (the fastest scan  ). & guess what it didn't find a virus. So how come BD was removing the EXEs Can anyone explain to me this strange behavior !!! BTW the client will stick to norton from now  And frankly speaking. I liked it too!!! Second time full system scan only took 12 Min. (35 GB of data)

I'd think virus behavior. And that the Norton "quick scanning time" is also a result of the virus. Until I scanned the HDD without the OS running those would be my thoughts.
