Bitdefender error

Solved
Hello,

I have been getting this message since yesterday as soon as I open my PC

A problem has occurred in Bitdefender threat scanner. A file containing error information
has been created at c:\windows\temp\bitdefender threat scanner.dmp. You are strongly encouraged
to send the file to the developers of the application for further investigation of the error.

What does this mean and what should I do?
Thank you

Configuration: Windows XP / Internet Explorer 8.0

    1. Hello,
      I have the same thing showing up regularly since this morning.
      What does that mean?
      I can't find this file C:\Windows\TEMP\BitDefender Threat Scanner.dmp, and I don't know much about computers...
      If anyone can help...
      Thank you.

      1. Hello,
        I've been having the same issue since yesterday. It's strange that it's happening to so many people at the same time. What should be done?
        Thank you for your help.

              2. Hello everyone, a FAQ is available, in English for now:
                http://www.bitdefender.com/support/Bitdefender-Antivirus-Free-crash-on-09-04-2013-1124.html

                In French, in summary, you need to run the patch from one of the links below depending on your system architecture:
                http://www.bitdefender.com/files/KnowledgeBase/file/BDRepair_Tool_win32.exe
                For 64-bit systems
                http://www.bitdefender.com/files/KnowledgeBase/file/BDRepair_Tool_x64.exe

                When the program has finished its operations, restart the computer. Once the computer has restarted, wait a few minutes and check that everything is working normally.

                1. When I try to run the patch for 64-bit systems,

                  this appears: Bitdefender repair tool encountered an error. Please contact support to get help with this issue

                  THANK YOU for your help.

              3. Hello,

                I tried the patch on my "Windows 7 64-bit" PC and it doesn't work.
                A window opens indicating that it did not execute properly.
                Is my PC protected while you find a solution?

                Thank you for your response.

                Hello Eric,

                Just a simple question, did you get the patch for the 64-bit versions?
                Did you run it with right-click -> admin?

                Talk to you later

                  1. Hello,
                    my autoscan is also inactive but I no longer have the error message. Does this mean that my computer is not automatically protected?

                    1. @joja4950 @Ben: don't panic, your PC is well protected ;) Autoscan is the automatic file analysis; it triggers when you are not using the computer's resources (to avoid disturbing the user session).

                          1. Honestly, if you ever have a problem with Bitdefender, contact customer support; they are really responsive. My issue was resolved in two days, compared to others...
