I was so stupid. As a photography buff I couldn’t resist the urge to test this program. So, while installing the software I allowed the setup to continue despite warnings by Bitdefender Security. When the installation was done though, I immediately blocked the strange behavior of the program with Bitdefender. The result was even stranger-I couldn’t close the program, and it was giving off a loud sound whenever I pressed an X button at the top of my screen. Consequently, I was forced to use Task Manager to do that, but here again a loud sound blared on the closing of the program. Thankfully, I was able to close the program’s window with the help of Task Manager.
Now I am hoping to be able to completely remove this troublesome program from my computer, and hunt down all the registry entries left by it.
And yes: I was stupid to install this program.
And yes: Bitdefender is definitely smarter than me.
