Bitdefender problems

Problem: You cannot uninstall Bitdefender (all versions)using add/remove programs
Solution: Download this tool. Unpack it and run cleantool.exe. Restart the computer and delete the unpacked files

Problem: When updating: The bitdefender icon disappears, the console is not responding or upgrepl.exe is not responding
Solution: The R.T.V.R. (Real Time Virus Report) module from BitDefender helps us estimate how viruses are spread over the world (the graphical presentation of these statistics are available on bitdefenders website). Basically, when BitDefender detects a virus (either the on-access scaner or the on-demand scanner), R.T.V.R. connects to our reporting servers and report the incident (no other information, including private user information are included in this report).

In order to solve the mentioned issue please follow the guide below:

  1. Open the BitDefender console (double click on the system tray icon);
  2. Go to General > Settings;
  3. Uncheck Send virus report.

 

Problem:

Solution:

Problem: Missing: 'oleacc.dll' or 'Module C:Program Files\Softwin\BitDefender ...\bdbellex.dll failed to register HRESULT - 2147023739' or 'Module C:\Program Files\Softwin\BitDefender8\bdshelxt.dll failed to register. HRESULT - 2147023739'
Solution:

  1. Cancel the installation process;
  2. If BitDefender is already installed remove it before proceeding to the next step;
  3. Download and install the system patch released by Microsoft as an update for the outdated Windows 98 versions;

    The update is different for each language. Download the update corresponding to the language of your operating system.

  4. Restart your computer when asked;
  5. Reinstall BitDefender.

 

Problem: Receiving email is very slowly or I'm getting timeouts
Solution: This issue is also described on Microsoft's website. Basically, this is not just a 'BitDefender related' situation, there could be several causes that could lead to this situation. Please visit Microsoft's website to try the solutions presented there (see the Related Info section). If, however, the solutions presented there do not help please try our workaround.

Temporary workaround: as this situation may occur only when retrieving emails with large attachments, you need to temporary disable the email scanning module of BitDefender by following the procedure below (only when downloading the big attachments emails):

  1. Open the BitDefender console by double clicking on the BitDefender system tray icon
  2. Go to Antivirus
  3. Uncheck the Scan incoming mail option
  4. Additionally, if you use BitDefender 8 Professinal Plus (or BitDefender 8 Spam Deny over a BitDefender 8 Standard installation), you will need to disable the Antispam module from the General tab.
