    I cannot get rid of this "Bitdefender" popup. It doesn't show in Opera, but it's in FF full time. There's no way to remove it that I can find. I have never downloaded BD, it does not show in remove programs, and when I do a search from the start menu, I get no results at all. Malware Bytes says I'm clean. AVG Free said no virus. I ran both of them in safe mode to be sure. How can I get rid of this thing? It's driving me nutty.

    Hi ZiD

    Actually this running in Safe Mode is a bit of a miss conception:
    Only run MBAM in Safe Mode as a last resort.
    The DDA (Direct Disc Access) doesn't work in Safe Mode, so may not detect Rookits properly.
    MBAM is also more effective if the malware is loaded in the memory while scanning.
    This is why running MBAM in normal mode is more efficiant.


    Please post the reports in the link as advised by DSTM (including the Otl Extras.txt) and i'll take a look.
