Warning Warning Wil Robinson: Bit Defender Implodes

[Undecided adrian]

After I had the false positive last month with Bit Defender and Amazon, I then had an issue with it not starting up on the task manager.

Well today Bitdefender totally imploded on me and decided to quaratine or turn off the whole of windows and has trashed my PC and refuses even to start up.

Now I am on my Wife's PC and searching for some answers and come across this.

Trojan.fakealert.5 at BitDefender infected many computers | White Hat News

This is crazy and there is little information coming out of Bitdefender apart from "we are aware of this".

All I can say is thank god for windows backup at least I can roll back to my last backup (which was yesterday)

And now I shall be installing my free copy of Kaspersky 2010 which I get from the bank.

My own preferences are Avast and Microsoft Security Essentials.

To date, I've not had a problem with together them as a combination.

I also used to use Malware Bytes' AntiMalware with good results.

All of the above have the advantage of either being free or having a free version.
