Bit Defender - Trojan.FakeAlert.5 Problem

Trojan.FakeAlert.5 Problem

On March 20, 2010, computers running Bitdefender under 64 bit versions of Windows were affected by a malfunctioning update which classified every executable program as well as dll files as infected. These files were all marked as 'Trojan.FakeAlert.5' and were moved into quarantine. This action led to software and systems malfunctions that affected users around the world.

Bitdefender representatives announced the removal of the faulty update and a workaround for the users affected, except for those using the 2008 version.

Famous quotes containing the word problem:

    A serious problem in America is the gap between academe and the mass media, which is our culture. Professors of humanities, with all their leftist fantasies, have little direct knowledge of American life and no impact whatever on public policy.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)
