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.

    But a problem occurs about nothing. For that from which something is made is a cause of the thing made from it; and, necessarily, every cause contributes some assistance to the effect’s existence.
