Dear tekolynne
I suggest that you try this reboot your pc into safe mode by just rebooting your computer. Press several times on the F8 button
before the windows loading screen select safe mode and press enter. Log in with your account. Right click on your recycle bin and choose for empty (all). After that go to start,my computer,go to the tools menu,folder options,view (display),uncheck hide operating system files (confirm the windows message) and check show hidden files and folders press on apply and ok. Double click on the icon of your hard disc (partition) where windows is installed on. You will now find a folder called recycler open it and open the subfolder and delete
only the content. I recommend that you do this also right click on my computer,choose properties,click on the system restore tab and check the option disable system restore on all stations confirm the message and press on apply and ok. Wait till you see disabled. Once that happens uncheck disable system restore on all stations and press on apply and ok.
After that go to start,run,type services.msc press enter.
Double click on each service that has BitDefender in the name:
BitDefender Communicator startup type should be set on automatic if not change it and press on apply.
Only the BitDefender Threat Scanner should be set on demand. The other BitDefender services should also be set on automatic.
If that still fails uninstall BitDefender by using
this tool. But first close BitDefender by right clicking on the red BitDefender icon near the system clock and press on exit. Reboot your pc and install again.
If you install it on 2 pc's it counts only as 2. If you have a multi boot system that counts also as 1 pc or laptop. You have still 1 install left for getting updates.
Best regards
