Bit Defender auto update problems

I have BD Pro and I had it on auto update but I was getting this error in event viewer:
Event Type: Error
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7034
Date: 1/8/2006
Time: 10:18:43 AM
User: N/A
Computer: MELE
Description:
The BitDefender Virus Shield service terminated unexpectedly. It has done this 5 time(s).

For more information, see Help and Support Center at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/events.asp.

I got this error repeatedly since I got BD Pro instead of BD free where I manually updated. I put BD on manual update and I don't get the error. What was causing it to stop 5 times? Trying to update and being unsuccessful?

After each error is this in event viewer:

Event Type: Information
Event Source: Service Control Manager
Event Category: None
Event ID: 7035

Time: 9:18:39 AM

Computer: MELE
Description:
The BitDefender Scan Server service was successfully sent a stop control.

Then more events related to auto updating BD. So, it looks like the unexpected stopping of BD is related to inability to update and repeated tries?

Those above entries were in System. In Applications at the same time each time BD would unexpectedly quit and get the error and then would go ahead and update, I see 241 events in Applications! 241! These are over and over and over, over making the log extremely long for just one day. They all are the same event...241 times and all concern Bit Defender:

The local computer may not have the necessary registry information or message DLL files to display messages from a remote computer. You may be able to use the /AUXSOURCE= flag to retrieve this description; see Help and Support for details. The following information is part of the event: http://www.bitdefender.us/, http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink?LinkID=45840.

Is this normal if you use auto updating with Bit Defender?

 

No this ain't normal. I've checked my "Events" but not a single error like this. You might send these reports to BitDefender's Support where they can help you further.

Please keep us updated on the outcome.

 

Contact BD Support. I have found them prompt and they solve the problem.

As an aside, I recently bought a laptop for home use, and for travelling. Just on the chance that I could get BD for the second machine at some price break I asked the question. They replied that I would not have to buy a second license as long as the second computer was for home use. So now instead of using a free AV for the laptop I have a top drawer AV at no extra cost. That is good customer support.

I had considered changing to NOD or KAV, but BD suits me and my machine. I did try KAV on the laptop, but it would not update. I know that the support folks would have helped me, but I did not want to go to the trouble.

Not seen anything in the application event log though. These happened with this update «Virus Signatures: 251057, EngineVersion: 7.05196». Other updates only trigger the usual start/stop service event logs.
