I’ve used BD before and liked it but this version is real pain to just try to install, as mentioned in the reviews on this site. The BD log-in website page just go round in circles, I log in and it comes back to the log in page. I’ve managed to set up a new account there but it does not recognise me. I’ve confirmed the new account via email as required, disabled any browser plug ins that might have caused the log in issues – javascript, flash etc. I’ve even tried Firefox with no plug-ins with no luck.
After shutting down the computer, despite having previously successfully downloaded the +300Mbs BD software, on firing up the computer again the ProductAgentService.exe of the BD download tries to download the +300Mbs download again, with no warning that it wants to do this. Other software on my computer detected this, as far as I am concerned software that tries to download anything, let alone a +300Mbs package, without my agreement is a big no no. That is the kind of behaviour that I want anti-virus software to prevent, not do it itself without my consent, especially when I already have the software package.
I’ll keep well clear of BD software in the future, even if they get high ranking reviews.
