Issue:

This article describes how to install BitDefender Antivirus 10.

Solution:

Locate the setup file and double-click it. This will launch a wizard that will guide you through the setup process:
BitDefender Antivirus 10 installation steps
  1. Click Next to continue or click Cancel if you want to quit installation.
  2. Click Next to continue or click Back to return to the first step.
  3. BitDefender alerts you if you have other antivirus products installed on your computer.

    It is highly recommended to uninstall the other antivirus products detected before installing BitDefender. Running two or more antivirus products at the same time on a computer usually renders it unusable..

    Click Back to return to the previous step or Cancel to exit setup. If you want to continue, click Next.

    If BitDefender does not detect other antivirus products on your system you will skip this step.

  4. Please read the License Agreement, select I accept the terms in the License Agreement and click Next. If you do not agree with these terms click Cancel. The installation process will be abandoned and you will exit setup.
  5. You can choose what kind of installation you want: Typical, Custom or Complete.
    • Typical: The program will be installed with the most common options. This is the recommended option for most users.
    • Custom: You may choose the components you want to install. Recommended for advanced users only.
    • Complete: For full installation of the product. All BitDefender modules will be installed.

    If you select Typical or Complete you will skip the next step.

  6. If you have selected Custom, a new window will appear containing all the BitDefender components listed so that you may select the ones you would like to install.
    If you click any component name, a short description (including the minimum space required on the hard disk) will appear on the right side. If you click any component icon a window will appear where you can choose to install or not the selected module.
    You can select the folder where you want to install the product. The default folder is C:\Program Files\Softwin\BitDefender10\.
    If you want to select another folder, click Browse and in the window that will open, select the folder you wish BitDefender to be installed in. Click Next
  7. You have two options selected by default:
    • Open readme file: to open the readme file at the end of the installation.
    • Place a shortcut on the desktop: to place a shortcut to BitDefender on your desktop at the end of the installation.

    During the installation procedure a wizard will appear. The wizard helps you register your BitDefender Antivirus 10, create a BitDefender account and set BitDefender to perform important security tasks.
    Complete the wizard-guided process in order to go to the next step..

  8. Click Finish to complete the product installation. If you have accepted the default settings for the installation path, a new folder named SOFTWIN is created in Program Files and it contains the subfolder BitDefender10.
