Bitdefender Antivirus Free - English GUI

Hi All

I have been conducting a series of Speed tests over this last month because of Broadband problems. When I look at my notes one thing stands out is the very large Ping levels - anything from 188.13 down to 47. I should add I am in the UK and used BT Wholesale Speed test for all results.

When I saw post 3775 it set me thinking so @ 1346 hours UK time I did another speed check (AFTER DISABLING BD) and low and behold the Ping had come down to 25.25.

Not had a result as low as this ever. Will keep checking and feed back.

anyone had a problem starting steam after the most recent update? this was while steam was attempting (and failing) to install an update. with bd free disabled the update installed and steam started as usual. dunno if ill still have to disable bd to start steam normally (now the update is installed), cant be arsed to check until next time i boot windows

 

Thats one problem reporting feedback to BD, their support forum is almost dead and difficult to register.

Edit: Mail to BD for problems
(Open an email ticket)

It did disable Windows Defender as it has been in the previous versions!

 

I do not experience any lag issues. Bare in mind I'm a gamer and I play a lot of FPS games online.

 

I've never used webshield, try to disable it with registry hack.

Anybody else with this problem?

Now I have the mentioned problem on another computer while Bitdefender didn't disable Windows Defender on my computer. So I'm running 2 Antivirus with noticable slowdowns, so there is still something wrong with the installation/deactivation/update.

I guess it's time to try it again next year.

 

BD support improved a bit and they add and fix detections fast. But what I hate about them is they fix program bugs really slow and long even after reporting and them acknowledging it several times. Theyre also very generous.

 

Hello, same here. When I click on the security center, it says WD is active and BD inactive, meanwhile BD says my computer is protected.

 

To fix this issue, I uninstalled BD, rebooted, ran the BD-uninstaller, rebooted, then installed BD-free again.
Things went back to normal. WD is off, BD is active, no warning from security-center.

 

Thank you, I will try that.

 

One week after update to 1.0.9.21. So far so good. No bugs to report.

 

deicded to bin on win 10. 3 x services kept turning themselves off

 

This evening update to version 1.0.9.25

 

Anyone else got a nag in Bitdender Free to buy their PRO solution?

 

Did you go into BD free settings -> account info -> disable notification ads
??

 

Sometimes "disable" didn't work for me, however I haven't got any nags while using Bitdefender Free.

Is it fixed in the latest version? Any changelog?

 

I haven't use Bitdefender again, so maybe someone else will have an answer.

 

Hi,

Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition update to 1.0.9.31

Who is able to answer my question? Where are the Bitdefender freaks?

 

I run Bitdefender free without issue on a casual entertainment center PC running Win 7 Pro. It is light and stays out of the way. It is all I need for that setup. I don't make frequent changes there and rarely download and install new programs, so context scanning is not a consideration. I occasionally run full system scans with BD Free and Malwarebytes, and always have a clean report.

 

BD free update to 1.0.9.38

 

Any changelog? Spokesman, can you please check context scanning?

 

No changelog, on one laptop i have BD free installed, is updating at this moment.
What do you mean by context sc ? is this a right click on a folder ?

 

Yes, do you have some malware to test it?

 

Well I was testing it with PUPs, not actual malware. But they were files that were detected when I scanned them
