Problems Removing Bitdefender

[Davelegend]

Hello my name is Amire, I own a Windows Vista Home Premium x32bit desktop computer. I've recently downloaded a new Anti-Virus application after the Bitdefender total security 2010 program's free trial expired. I thought to uninstall it but I keep getting this error:

Now that, that didn't work I tried the other solution of deleting it from Program files
That also didn't work because for some reason the administrator needs permission from it's to deleted...and it's still denied:

Tired getting ownership of the file....Denied:

After this...I looked to the internet to help me solve this problem, but everyone is constantly giving me the same thing....and it doesn't work...the bitdefender uninstaller helps nothing, trying to delete the registry will only give me the access denied thing again and I also tried searching for any Trojans or malicious problems and nothing came up...Not even the Bitdefender website can't help the situation(they keep asking me to use the uninstaller but it doesn't remove anything)

Im totally stumped...i don't know what to do...I don't know why...Why ican't delete this thing when im the administrator...Can you help me?

Hi Amire:
You can try uninstalling it:
- in safe mode.
- or using one of the following uninstallers:
http://www.downarchive.com/software/system/177249-final-uninstaller-264-datecode-09062010.html
Your Uninstaller! 2010 Pro v7.0.2010.13 Multilingual Retail rapidshare, megaupload, torrent download
http://www.downarchive.com/software/system/167479-perfect-uninstaller-6338-datecode-27052010.html
- or try to reinstall it then disable protection or exit from taskbar at the right bottom, then uninstall it buy an uninstaller or from "add and remove".
Good luck.

Use Download Revo Uninstaller Freeware - Free and Full Download - Uninstall software, remove programs, solve uninstall problems

Deleting the file will not uninstall the program and may cause problems with uninstalling.That is why it was recommended you reinstall then use the uninstaller.
Revo is a excellent program.I use it for most of my program removal.

Where did you download BitDefender from? And where did the folder on your desktop called kav-kis 2010 +keys come from?

Excellent questions, particularly noting the shortcuts for uTorrent and LimeWire.

Yes, my thoughts exactly

Those A/V are a difficult to remove, if you just "recently" installed it as you said. Just use system restore to go back exactly the way you were.
