Never used BD whats it like ? new one suite 10 sounds promising? or is it to buggy still !! ?

 

the build hasn't changed from the one posted here with the link before...
so,i am not going to install it..

 

Great. Now BD10 is crashing my Crashday 1.1 game. After removed it everything was fine.

 

They have raised the price to make you purchase 2 licenses for 2 years. Single user license seems not available...

Official press release (in English) regarding the launch of version 10.

http://news.bitdefender.com/NW280-en--BitDefender-Unveils-Next-Generation-Security-Products.html

Interesting two year/two PC license promotion they are running.


Edit: The link worked 2 minutes ago but now pulls up a blank page. Perhaps they are still tweaking.

 

Link is working now.

Prices are increased slightly:

BitDefender AntiVirus now costs $39.95 for two users, two years. BitDefender AntiVirus Plus now costs $49.95 for two users, two years and BitDefender Internet Security now costs $69.95 for 2 users, 2 years.

Most likely the prices will remain the same, but the licensing period will fall from 2 years to 1 year after January 1, 2007.

 

its strange that even after reporting the bugs,bitdefender has chosen to continue with same build...
it stopped my pc from booting and people at forum suggested that there will be difference in the build which will be released..
Thankyou,mcafee is working fine here!

 

I have found the rootkit scanning options now and will post screenshots.

Thanks lodore, i got it.

 

Thats not really an anti-rootkit thingie. Just a memory scanner. It would say "rootkit" otherwise...

 

if you look in screenshot 3 it shows the "rootkit scanning options" i dont think you need much more prove

 

Well if images wouldn't be so small to kill myself reading that text...

 

Ok this is strange. I was running the UK version of BD 10 Standard, and it was working fine with no problems. This morning, I started up my computer, and BD wouldn't load. No icon in the task bar. I tried Start>Programs>BitDefender, and still no BD startup. So I uninstalled this version and installed the new U.S./universal version. The install went smoothly. The BD 10 GUI opened. I configured it the way I wanted it. I rebooted. BD didn't load. No icon in the task bar. I can't open it. This is very frustrating. I'm going to their live chat tech support to see if they can figure this out. I will let you know the out come.


EDIT....I went to their live chat tech support, but they are off line at this time. Decided to try rebooting again. Oh my gosh, there's the BD icon in the task bar. Some what happy now, but afraid to try another reboot.

 

Antirootkit has been added.

 

It seems the manual of BD10 is out of date. There is no scan for Rootkit option on page 68 of the Antivirus manual bitdefender_av_v10.pdf found at http://download.bitdefender.com/wind...der_av_v10.pdf

Page 68 of the manual:

 

New look of the BD home page:

 

I expected the change in website design, as there are certain milestones assosciated with product releases

 

But the new web site is very slow. They may still be updating the components. The registered user site is also very slow, and the country drop down box does not work.

 

Hmmmm, shouldnt things like this been done, or caught, before the release. Not good.

 

i know bitdefender now has a http scanner does it slow down net speed alot like the kaspersky one? or what?

 

Yes, the components are indeed being updated. The country drop-down box is probably not working because many of the individual country websites have not been upgraded to the new website design yet.

 

yes it does..

 

Interesting, i just noticed i have an Internet Security 10 key under my BitDefender account. Looks like they gave it to beta testers of BD10 IS.
Anyone else beta testing it and got the key too?

Haven't tried it yet but i guess it's the full thing
