Download the BOX 3.0A patch for any BitDefender 2010 product from any of the following links:



For safety reasons, only run the patch by BOX 3.0A bearing the following file hash: CRC32 605BA854

Screenshot of the patch by BOX 3.0A devised for BitDefender 2010 products (any language - versions x64 & x86).



NB: Windows XP SP2 & SP3 users need to have .NET Framework 2.0 or above previously installed in your PC to run the patch. However Windows Vista & Windows 7 users need to have .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 previously installed in your PC to run the patch.

In case you don't have it installed yet you can download it from:

Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (x86) - Windows XP




Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 Service Pack 1 (x64) - Windows XP




Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 Service Pack 1 - Windows Vista & Windows 7




Requirements and Procedures to be observed before installing a BitDefender 2010 product:

The following guidelines have been drafted by the undersigned based on the feedback submitted by ~spam is good food~ members when installing BitDefender 2010 products. Therefore, reporting your experience regarding BitDefender 2010 products, either positive or negative, shall be highly appreciated.

Quote:1) BitDefender 2010 products require a medium to powerful PC to run smoothly. Recommended system requirements for running them are the following:

Windows XP SP2, Vista, Windows 7
Intel CORE Duo (1.66 GHz) or more powerful processor
RAM: 1 GB (Windows XP and Windows 7)
1.5 GB (Windows Vista)

2) Choose the suitable BitDefender 2010 product which is compatible with your Operative System, i.e.: BitDefender 32 bits for 32 bits Operative Systems or BitDefender 64 bits for 64 bits Operative Systems.

3) Have the appropriate NET.Framework which is suitable for your Operative System installed in your PC before installing BitDefender 2010. This is required to run the patch by BOX 3.0A. If you want to determine that the appropriate NET.Framework is already installed in your PC, Go to Control Panel => Add or remove programs => Check there which NET.Framework you have installed. After installing NET.Framework restart your PC.

4) You cannot have two antiviruses (AV) installed at the same time. So if you are going to install a BitDefender 2010 product you must uninstall the AV you currently have, including old BitDefender versions or any BitDefender 2010 which you may have installed and found it is not working due to the fact that you have applied a different registration procedure from the one described in this post (search for and delete any traces of BitDefender and Softwin in your HDD and in your Windows registry). It isn't enough to disable the current antivirus because there could be AV or Firewall services running in the background which could impair the correct installation of the new BitDefender. After uninstalling the old AV, restart your PC.

5) Windows Firewall must be disabled. After disabling it, restart your PC or in case of BitDefender Internet Security or Total Security, let BitDefender do it for you (tick the corresponding box when installing it). If you are going to install BitDefender Antivirus 2010 after its installation, patching and first update, it is recommended to re-enable Windows Firewall and adjust its settings to allow BitDefender to go into the net to perform futures updates.

6) Uninstall any other third party software which may conflict with the future services to be rendered by BitDefender (firewall, antispyware, antispam, etc.). After uninstalling such software, restart your PC.

7) Windows Defender (Microsoft AntiSpyware) must be uninstalled and/or disabled. After uninstalling and/or disabling it, restart your PC.

8) In case of Windows Vista and Windows 7, disable User Account Control UAC). After disabling UAC, restart your PC.

9) After having made the above adjustments but before installing the chosen BitDefender 2010 product, don't forget to create a restore point which can be useful in case anything may go wrong with BitDefender installation and/or its future operation.

BitDefender 2010 - Installation and Patching Instructions:

Though the Installation and Patching Instructions are within the patch (click the "Read Me" button) and which you must read carefully and strictly follow before applying the patch, I have adapted and rephrased them for your easiest understanding as follows:

Quote:Installation and Patching Instructions for BitDefender 2010 Products:

1. Install your BitDefender 2010 product but {DO NOT RESTART YOUR COMPUTER}. (If already installed, then see Note A below.)

2. Run and execute the Patch by clicking the "Year 2047" button and once patching has been finished then {RESTART YOUR COMPUTER}.

3. Adjust your BitDefender 2010 product settings, update it and you are done. Afterwards and at your convenience, you may conduct a full scan of your computer but bear in mind that for a not newly formated PC the scanning may take a long time.

4. If at a later stage you want to remove the effects of the Patch from your Bitdefender 2010 product, you must disable first the antivirus protection of your BitDefender product and then run the patch again but on this occasion just click the "Uninstall" button. Said manoeuvre will convert the BitDefender 2010 product back to a 30-day trial version. It is worth pointing out that you must eliminate the effects of the patch first and then restart the computer before uninstalling your BitDefender 2010 product itself. If you don't proceed as above, BitDefender will generate a bug report which nevertheless will not affect your PC at all.

NOTE A: If any BitDefender 2010 product is already installed and you want to patch it, you have two possible ways to proceed: (i) you must disable the antivirus protection of your BitDefender product and then run and execute the Patch; or (ii) run and execute the Patch in Windows Safe Mode (F8) using an Administrator account. Shouldn´t you succeed with the previous procedures, then you have to uninstall your BitDefender 2010 product and repeat the steps 1) to 3) above.

NOTE B: When you have applied the Patch to BD Total Security, the Online Backup feature does not work because you don't have and/or cannot create an account at BitDefender website.

by BOX (Adapted and rephrased by Pervinox)

Fully tested and working and updateable until year 2047!!!

NB: If after patching is done you get a nagging reminder about everytime you open the program you don't need to activate to use BD. Choose "Intermediate Mode" => "Security" tab => click on "Configure Status Tracking" link => uncheck "Update Status" and/or "Registration Status" box.

Genuine Keys (valid serials) - Very Important:

Quote:If you want to install BitDefender Antivirus 2010 or BitDdefender Internet Security 2010 with genuine keys just ask me for them by posting your request through this post. I will furnish them to you via PM.

It's worth pointing out that there is no available genuine key for BitDefender Total Security 2010.

FYI as of Jan 18, 2010 the genuine keys at stake are fully working and are expiring as follows:

BDAV 2010: September 25, 2011.
BDIS 2010: October 11, 2010.

That's the reason why it's by far more advisable to use the patch instead of the key if you choose BitDefender Internet Security 2010 and you are decided to keep it beyond October 11, 2010 or in both cases if you want to avoid the risk to get the keys blacklisted by BitDefender servers, task which is conducted by BitDefender from time to time. You should realize that the keys are "leaked". Nevertheless if such circumstance takes place you can always make use of the patch by BOX 3.0A.

BitDefender AntiVirus Emergency Rescue CD:

BitDefender Rescue CD is capable to scan and disinfect all existing hard drives before your operating system starts.

You should use BitDefender Rescue CD any time your operating system is not working properly because of virus infections. That usually happens when you don't use properly your antivirus product or it is not adequately configured.

The update of the virus signatures is made automatically, without user intervention each time you start the BitDefender Rescue CD and there is an available Internet connection.

BitDefender Rescue CD is a BitDefender re-mastered Knoppix distribution, which integrates the latest BitDefender for Linux security solution into the GNU/Linux Knoppix Live CD, offering a desktop antivirus which can scan and disinfect existing hard drives (including Windows NTFS partitions). It doesn't require a key or registration to use it.

At the same time, BitDefender Rescue CD can be used to restore your valuable data when you cannot boot Windows. You can also save files to your pendrive with this CD. However when you use a pendrive it's advisable to use an empty one because there is a high chance that it may corrupt your existing files in the pendrive because the Rescue CD is based on a Linux distribution.

Quote: Download BitDefender Rescue CD (only avaible in English) from:

Code:

http://download.bitdefender.com/rescue_cd/BitDefenderRescueCD_v2.0.0_3_08_2009.iso

PS: I have tested it in many PCs and it doesn't work in all of them. This is mainly due to the Linux Video Card drivers: at the very end of the booting process you are stuck at a black screen. However it's worth trying it before you are in need of the Rescue CD.
