What Do I Do if I Have Another Security Solution Installed?
It is highly recommended to remove any security software that you might have installed on your system prior to installing BitDefender.
Generally, you can uninstall other security software from the Windows Control Panel (Add or Remove programs (XP), Programs, Programs and Features (Vista and 7).
You can also contact the security software manufacturer or visit their website for further information.
The BitDefender 2011 installer automatically detects any other security software installed, including older versions of BitDefender. Once the setup wizard is launched, BitDefender will instruct you how to uninstall it.
If you are installing BitDefender Internet Security or Total Security, please turn off any other firewall that protects your system as well. Once the installation of these products is complete, the BitDefender firewall will be activated.
Click "Start Uninstall" to proceed with the uninstalling of conflicting software, one by one. Your computer may need to reboot in order for this process to run properly, but the setup wizard will resume after each reboot. If conflicting security software fails to be removed, BitDefender will redirect you to the Customer Care Team to help you prepare the system for installation.
