BitDefender 8 desktop folders? in Security http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r14164170 en Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:54:07 EDT Sat, 28 Nov 2009 17:54:07 EDT Re: BitDefender 8 desktop folders? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14167533 bigjer :

I would use AntiVir or Avast for free resident protection. And then use bitdefender for on-demand scans (BD has better detection rates than AVG, AntiVir, or Avast).
Thanks, I've been using AVG for 6 months or so, maybe time for a change. I'll give it a try.

Went to BD online chat and had a talk with a tech named Vincent. The entry in msconfig>startup is for auto updates which only work if BD is running. All of the aforementioned entries/items that are running mean that bit defender is receiving and sending information to your PC but there is no realtime scanning.
Had ME fooled! It does everything that a realtime scanner would do except realtime scanning! Learned alot today.
To all those nice people that replied and tried to help, sorry I have wasted your time.

So my question is how can autoupdates be enabled, an icon in the notification tray, an entry in msconfig>startup, and 2 of BD services running on automatic but the virus shield is not loaded?
Why/how does it autoupdate unless it is running? Why does it appear to be running and why the entry in msconfig>startup?
Is there some other purpose to all of this? Like I said before I'm no expert on these things.
Help!

There is an option to "Load BitDefender when Windows starts". Checked that box, rebooted and I now have the BD icon in the notification area.
I also have "bdmcom" in misconfig>startup. In services, I have "Bitdefender scan server" and "Bitdefender communicator" set to automatic.
Not an expert on A/V programs so you could be right. How else would I tell if it is running/not runniong at startup?

I thought you were running BD free?

del "C:\custom whatever path\to the file\getfile.dat"
del "C:\custom whatever path\to the file\x_dtrace_log"

I can't see me deleting these same 2 folders everytime I use the manual update feature.

I wonder if enabling the autoupdate feature would have the same results? I'll give it a try to see what happens and post back with the results.

The tech at BitDefender thought I had a paid version at first and was going to help. When he found out it was the free version he informed me that there is no support.
He did suggest that I d/ld a trial version though.

I think it is probably a slight install misconfig, as the files should be in user profile folder, and maybe reinstall would fix it if i could be bothered to do it that is :)

Looks like I'm outta luck:(

I'll try to download another copy to see if that solves the problem, if it doesn't I'll look for another on demand scanner.

I have both of them on other locations:

getfile.dat and x_dtrace_log appear on c:\program files\SoftWin\BitDefender and c:\documents and settings\xxxx user

Each file, has a copy of itself on both locations.

I have never had any of these on the desktop, but you should ask to their help support, very kind and fast responders.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14164989 Thu, 18 Aug 2005 17:02:16 EDT BitDefender 8 desktop folders? http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,14164170 bigjer : Good afternoon,
I have recently downloaded and installed BitDefender 8 on my WinXp PC. I find 2 folders on my desktop after updating the program.
They are 1) getfile.dat 2) x_dtrace_log. I have deleted them everytime they appear but as soon as I update they come back.
They only appear when I update BT 8.
I searched Google and this site but fail to find any info on these folders, any opinions?
Thank you:)
