Re: BitDefender 8 desktop folders?
Thanks everyone, I have BD set to run real time and auto update enabled. I'll wait and see if the problem goes away with this set up.
Cudni,I never/don't know how to make a batch file, where to enter the info and such. |

| I have BD 8 free. 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?

1 edit | Opened BD up and under General page, status tab it says "Virus shield is not loaded".
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!

| One mystery solved. 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.

Simi Valley, CA | 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). |
