can't remove: network adapter Bitdefender Firewall NDI

[Julio Andretti]

I was once using bitdefenderTS2009, but then I uninstalled it and now I'm using 'Kaspersky Technical Preview for Windows 7'.

When I'm using Snipping Tool to save screenshot for my post at 'show your WEI score' thread on the forum I noticed this (see attachment)

I guess those are some leftovers from imperfect BDTS2009 uninstallation process. Any suggestion on how I could get rid of those?

For you know, I also have used the Uninstall Tool I got from Bitdefender website successfully.

 

[Julio Andretti]

anybody? no?

Yep...I'm guessing they might be tied into services possibly...you can remove them from the command prompt but it would help to know the command...

I don't off my head, so I use DameWare NT Utilities to view and then remove services local or on the network pcs.

Hi Julio,

You might want to try looking in Device Manager and select 'View' and choose 'Show hidden devices' then 'View' again & 'Devices by connection'

This might show the (virtual) devices that seem to be installed. The other option is to run 'regedit' from the start menu (search bar). Try searching for anything relating to BitDefender and delete it. You may want to attempt 'regedit' in safe mode as it shouldn't load the devices your trying to delete.

Hope this helps

P.S sorry for the late reply

You could also try the 'Change adapter settings' in the 'Network and sharing centre', from here you can 'Organize' & then 'Delete' them if they show up there.

One thing I had to do here when removing one adapter totally for the next one was first replug the one being removed in order to see that redetected and made visible. When appearing in the device manager>network adapters you then simply right click on the item and choose the uninstall option plus check off the remove drivers for device box.

Whether ethernet or usb you are then free to unplug any external plugin type adapter with assurance the drivers are gone. I've been doing that quite a bit lately for the 64bit 7 as well as the trying out routers for hard wire/wireless and the change of ISPs.

thanks, better late then never.
I try the regedit and device manager but I can't find them, probably I missed them. But I'm able to uninstall the bitdefender filter from my ethernet network adapter properties somewhere in 'network and sharing center', thanks to you guys.
it shows no more at WEI screen.
it solved.

anyway, Lu Bu and Riddick, who kicks whose ass?

 

[Julio Andretti]

wait wait, the bitdefender service is still there, how can I remove it? is it safe to leave it be?

 

[Orbital Shark]

First, from the start menu if you type 'Services' and select Services. Navigate to bitdefender & right-click and choose properties. Make sure that it's set to manual & stopped (see highlights in pic).

 

[Julio Andretti]

it is already manual and stopped, can I just delete it? is it safe to leave it be?

 

[Night Hawk]

You can actually go one step further and disable that service entirely rather then the manual and stop option and not worry any longer. If you later find a need for it again you would return to see it enabled for use again at that time.

 

[Julio Andretti]

thanks, I think it's better to leave it alone manual and stopped. thanks to u guys. rep for you two.

late reply but i thought it might help
the services are under

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services

and so if go there there should be something called scan from your services window...
also you can try from a elevated commandline

sc delete scan
