a problem has occured in bitdefender threat scanner

The first step in installing an antivirus software that is simple for PC is downloading the program. Double-click the downloaded application to begin the installation. The installer will walk you through the steps to install the program, such as signing the terms and condition and establishing the location where the antivirus is saved on your computer. Depending on the program, you may require a license key or register an account with the software provider.

Once the antivirus software is installed, you must activate it in order to start scanning for malicious software. Most antivirus programs will ask you to register and provide personal details as part of the activation process. However, this is typically not required. After you have registered, you will receive an email confirmation or a message that confirms that your antivirus program has been activated.

Depending on the anti-virus program you use you might be asked to run a system scan or select an individual file or folder for scanning. During the scan the program will scan for and delete any folders or files that contain malware. Some programs run periodic or automated scans to identify any new malware and keep the computer free of any threats.
