RACE CONDITION
--------------
At Windows startup, when a file named: program.exe is found on c:\ 
Windows send an alert message, messagebox controls are:
2 buttons -> "Rename" or "Ignore"
1 checkbox -> [X] Do not do this verification on startup. 
(Sorry, haven't got the exact english message)

At this moment, BitDefender can't start, so we have a session without virus 
protection.

Thanks for informing us about this issue. Now we are aware of it and in
short time all BitDefender installation kits will be updated in order
to fix it. The quick fix is to put all the start up commands between "

We will keep you posted.
