[QUOTE="Captain Holly, post: 932529, member: 90494"] Thanks for all the advice here. I used the Bitdefender Free and Paid removal tools to remove both versions of Bitdefender. It took some searching though to find the remover for BD Free, I found it here, thanks to the MT forums. I ran the Kaspersky removal tool and there was a Kaspersky folder it left over that had about 8 different files in it, I could no get rid of it and it was preventing WD from turning back on. Revo could not get rid of that folder either. So I did a system restore and that took care of it. I went back to WD for a week and made a system restore point with WD and that is the one I restored to before trying Avast. I will run the BD and Kaspersky removers again just for good measure. Thanks very much for the help on this. Capt. Holly [/QUOTE]
