bitdefender 10

Again as i said earlier, i just don't get it. I just purchased about 2 weeks ago a license for BD AV Plus 10 and once more i have to say, I am not having a lick of problem at all with this software. Now i'm not that familier with Bitdefender up until now as I have been a NAV user. I'm not a BD fanboy at all but let me just say this: up till this point in time, EVERYTHING is running correctly and smoothly in ALL areas. Maybe i'm special or something But I have to say, i'm very nervous that my copy is running like greased lightning and alot of others are saying it's a horrible (my words) program. I'm confused. So at this point, i'm happy with what i have and sticking with it.

 

Hezakiah, AV behaviour depends from one PC to another. I spotted that too... it depends on your hardware and also on your other softwares installed and their configuration. And besides... there is always an exception to confirm the rule.

 

Don't worry. I was not a big fan of BitDefender either because of the cpu and the bugs. But I have to say that since I'm running Bitdefender Internet Security 10 on my pc everytrhing runs very smooth. BitDefender is updating a lot to solve all the bugs.

So no worries, just enjoy

 

After reinstalling BitDefender, I see that the quarantine options are working now.

 

God damn stupid rootkit is dead again. Are they freakin kidding me or what!?

 

Rootkit scan is completely functional for me.

Also, about the HTTP scanner, it seems to be showing the HTTP scan links correctly (see screenshot)

 

dont feel bad.my rootkit hasn't worked sins the first installer was released about a month ago.i just reinstalled it again after reading the post about quarantine options being improved.

 

This **** is ****ed up badly. Uninstalled it, cleaned with uninstall tool, reinstalled. Guess what, rootkit crap still dead.

 

Well their probably too busy ironing out their probs and dilemas in BD 10.

 

Or perhaps they have burned thier hands trying to iron something.

 

I don't understand ther actions on malware.

Actions on infected stuff:
First: Desinfect
Second: Move to Quarantine

Actions on suspicious stuff:
First: Move to Quarantine
Second: Deny access and continue

Thing that i don't get it is why BD10 throws some files to quarantine and some not Especially since 3/4 of those detected were BehavesLike detections and few generic ones. I prefer if AV is actually able to do what it's suppose to do not to just deny access to files so i have to turn entire OS around to find that stuff and delete it manually.

 

This is a bug that has existed since BitDefender 9. BitDefender is tagging all BehavesLike infections as 'infected' rather than 'suspect'. As a result, the files with "BehavesLike" detections are processed with the actions that have been set for an infected file instead of the actions for a suspect file.

As for generic detections, those are working properly as far as I can see. I have sent an email to BitDefender support asking them to find out whats up with this thing. I'm not sure if they'll reply though.

 

There is a new installer for BD10 Internet Security, dated 12 Sep 06. It is 25,560,688 bytes, as compared to the first released installer (25,500,272 bytes)

Firecat, i've reported the bug. But so far i've never got ANY reply from their mail tech support. Well i did until they changed their webpage. Now i don't even know whether my messages even reach them...

 

Check for my PM (I'm still writing it, so it'll take a few minutes).

 

Hi,folks: KAV in one of my PCs is due for renewal very soon. I do have an option; either renew it or opted for new alternative. One of the candidates is BitDefender 10. I am impressed by its generous offer of one price for 2 pcs/2 years. Also its rootkit scanner and so forth. I have ZA Pro in place with that pc. Can someone share few words of encouragement or caution ? I will be appreciated.

 

I call BitDefender 10 as "Bug-Zan III". Maybe that will help.

Jokes aside, BitDefender 10 is extrmely buggy as a whole at the moment. If you like KAV, stick to it.

 

Having conflicts with BD 9 and other security applications, I would highly recommend to stay with KAV. I have found KAV to run well with my other security applications, and it has better on-demand detection rates than BD.KAV support is far superior.
I have not used BD10, but reports here are not good.

ye stick with kav if your happy with it and maybe get bitdefender when the bugs are ironed out. or if you looking for an alternitve try antivir premium

 

Ditto AntiVir.

im glad you seem to be enjoying your trial of antivir.

 

This isn't anything technical, but there is no BD10 upgrade deal for users of BD9? On their website they have the "two users, two years" as the only purchase option?
As a BD9 user, I hope it goes for another year or two, BD10 isn't showing me anything to run out and upgrade.

 

as far as io know if you have a curren bitdefender 10 license you can use bitdefender 10 with the same code.

 

Upgrade is free, just install the appropriate version of BitDefender 10 and use your existing license key to enjoy the benefits of BitDefender 10 for the remainder of your license.

If you are using Standard version, upgrade to BitDefender 10 standard. If you are using Professional Plus, upgrade to v10 Antivirus Plus and Internet Security users can just upgrade to BD10 Internet Security.

In case you do not want to upgrade, BitDefender 9 should remain supported for at least another year.

 

is the problem with bitdefender not loading at startup on first reboot fixed yet?


im guessing it is but i wanna make sure
