But if bitdefender appears as just one product in a list of other, unrelated products (e.g. you can probably safely delete the key (folder) on the left containing this bitdefender item. Generally, if bitdefender appears as a value on the right, along with a handful of other items. But basically, on the left are keys (which look like little folders) and on the right are values (which look like little files with descriptions next to them). If you aren't familiar with the registry this is mildly risky. this will find bitdefender mentioned in the registry, and wherever it appeared, I'd delete it.*** Be careful here, the usual registry disclaimer applies: if you delete the wrong thing you can screw up your PC. I then ran regedit and clicked at the very top, and did ctrl F to search for the string 'bitdef' without quotes. I ignored this single file, I couldn't delete it even with Unlocker (I think in safe mode, unlocker doesn't work). A single file failed to delete for me, something like "bitdefendercontext.dll" which I think is a file that allows bitdefender options to appear when you right click. I rebooted into safe mode, navigated to C:\program files\bitdefender\ (whatever the folder is called) and simply shift deleted it. nothing happens.įinally, the solution for me was the ugly, brute force method. You can double click the entry in the list of programs, or right click and choose uninstall. I tried uninstalling from safe mode, but no prompt or confirmation ever came up. but the next time I tried to uninstall, there was the password prompt. So I did that, running as administrator, and it seemed to complete successfully. It supposedly needed to run in safe mode. Then I saw a solution with a password reset executable from BitDefender. I saw one solution pointing to a 'business/pro' uninstaller, but that uninstaller required certain paramaters like.
