ikon 439 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 After reading them, you feel as if you should change from what you bought two years ago (which was always way down the list) to whatever was now on top. Indeed. That's exactly why I went with BitDefender -- it's been right near the top of the list for at least 5 years. That could change of course, but at least there's a good track record.

awraynor 98 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Recently MSSE has asked to send some files to MS for analysis. They were the shortcut for the 2011 Launchpad and two album art jpgs for Zune Pass tracks, funny choices. Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 84 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 How do you get rid of Bitdefender's annoying pop-ups? Even after licensing the app I get an "Activate Bitdefender Services" login prompt on my desktops constantly. Link to post Share on other sites
ikon 439 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Open a ticket with them. I do not get Activation messages. I do get others, but not Activation. Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 84 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 So they control these popups by customer from the server side? Ugh. Link to post Share on other sites
ikon 439 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 Uh, that's not what I said. I was simply suggesting you open a Tech Support ticket with BitDefender to get them to tell you how to get rid of the Activation popups, and to determine what's wrong. Link to post Share on other sites
Jason 84 Posted October 13, 2013 Share Posted October 13, 2013 OK. My fault. Fortunately I already had a ticket open. Will post back in case anyone else experiences. It's happening on every Windows PC with registered Antivirus Plus 2013 version. Link to post Share on other sites

... 32 Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 So after much research and time I purchased a 5-PC license of Avast Pro Antivirus.

Jason 84 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 Thanks Jason; it'll be good to have the feedback. Per Bitdefender, once you create a My Bitdefender account and login to the prompt, this popup will cease and you can monitor statistics via the web account. Link to post Share on other sites
