Bitdefender Total Security 2010 uninstall patch?

Question

I am using Bitdefender Total Security 2010. I just took a look inside at C:\Program Files\BitDefender\BitDefender 2010, and found one file read as 'uninstall_patch'.It looks suspicious.The logo doesn't have smooth edges, File Version is 0.0.0.0. Company name is just Bitdefender.(Everywhere else it is Bitdefender S.R.L.When double clicked it says'Welcome to the Bitdefeb=nder patch setup wizard. This will install /bitdefender uninstall patch on your computer. What exactly is this file?

Answer 1

It's already telling you what it is it's an uninstall patch for Bit Defender.



This will install /bitdefender uninstall patch on your computer. It's a patch from BitDefender that will help uninstall it should the need arise. The program must have had uninstall issues so they included a patch.

Upload the file to VirusTotal.com and see what they report; if this is a "new" piece of malware, then the scans they run won't find anything today.
