If you’re running Windows Vista 64-bit or 64 bit and windows Seven with antivirus Bitdefender 9 or 10, Your computer might get infected by virus Trojan.FakeAlert.5 , putting your computer upside down.

Trojan.FakeAlert.5 84.07%
If your Bitdefender has not yet updated, disable the update as soon as possible. In case you fell into the trap of the analysis system and you put the offending files in quarantine => you’re in deep problem. There Pc will have to move heavy artillery.
Solution 1: If you do not reboot the PC: Start by stopping the virus => tab “Antivirus” and uncheck “Realtime Protection” in the upper left. The coputor asks you how long => put “Always.” Do the same with the update. Also in the Antivirus section, go to the tab “Quarantine” and restore files by selecting those you want to restore. Some system files are restored automatically. It will essentially restore the various programs you use on your computer. You just have to wait for an update of Bitdefender … if indeed you want to keep as Bitdefender Antivirus.
Solution 2: You’ve “reset”, and Windows does most launches. You have tried safe mode but nothing works. Now, have to do a system restore. To do so, pull out your DVD of Windows 7, put it in drive and reboot the computer on the DVD (If your PC does not boot on the drive first, we must go into the Bios, under ‘ Startup “and put the DVD player 1). Once the installation starts, do not select “Install Windows 7″ but “Repair a Windows partition 7″ (or something like that) that appears in the lower left corner. Then choose a restore point (20/03/2010 obviously not;)).Once the restore point is, remove the DVD drive and restart the PC. Normally Windows 7 will launch normally.
Finally at least me it worked. Once Windows has restarted, go to Solution 1 (Disable the antivirus and updating, and restoring quarantined files).
Note that you can also restore from file system backup. However if the backup was on a medium on which BitDefender has quarantined files, this restoration may not work.
Solution 3: Format and reinstall everything to own. Yes it is the ugliest, but I think many will have to spend.
It remains to wait for an update of the virus, hoping that the program has not done too much damage to your system. In my opinion, Bitdefender may have taken a blow to its reputation.
