33. Useful Information<br />

This chapter presents some important procedures that you must be aware before<br />

starting to troubleshoot a technical issue.<br />

Troubleshooting a technical situation in BitDefender requires a few Windows insights,<br />

therefore the next steps are mostly related to the Windows operating system.<br />

33.1. How Do I Remove Other Security Solutions?<br />

The main reason for using a security solution is to provide protection and safety for<br />

your data. But what happens when you have more than one security product on<br />

When you use more than one security solution on the same computer, the system<br />

becomes unstable. The BitDefender <strong>Antivirus</strong> <strong>Pro</strong> <strong>2011</strong> installer automatically detects<br />

If you did not remove the other security solutions during the initial installation, follow<br />

2. Wait a few moments until the list of installed software is displayed.<br />

the uninstall guidelines.<br />
