Hello guys,
I originally posted this issue here, but I don't think this is appropriate given that VirusTotal reports don't seem too relevant in this case.
The basic issue is that beta testers have been reporting that Bitdefender is consistently blocking the updater tool. Today I downloaded a copy of Bitdefender and did some further tests to try and find a reason for this behaviour. However, I find that even if I create a very simple *.msi installer with the updater included (I actually used the 'story' example from your documentation in Advanced Installer v14.8 Enterprise) the problem still exists. This seems to rule out any components or properties of the installer package I'm developing.
What I've found is that if the update configuration file tells the updater the product is already up-to-date, Bitdefender doesn't interfere with the updater. However, if the updater finds it can apply an update, it is blocked immediately by Bitdefender.
If you can attempt to reproduce and address this matter I'd be very grateful. For what it's worth, the update server URL when checked on VirusTotal doesn't raise any flags. As you'd expect, neither does the 'story' installer, the update installer or the updater itself.
Thanks,
Nick
