<t>I'm having this same problem. I'm running Windows 7 64bit and BitDefender 2011.<br/> <br/> Set Active Virus control on Default and click OK.<br/> <br/> This was already set to default so I went on to the next steps, adding fbackup.exe, vscsrv.exe and VscSrv2008X64.exe to exclude in FBackup. <br/>...

I have now installed the latest version and it seems to try to run. I will post the new issue in a new Topic.
My antivirus is BitDefender and installed a new version after the last time FBackup worked correctly.
