This is wrong. The previous setting is for BDC version 7.x where the
BitDefender commandline get installed into /opt/bdc (meaning the
scanner is at /opt/bdc/bin/bdc). Not sure you got the right package,
not sure even the "right package" is right for the current
implementation in MS... Will have to take a look on what they tote
ATM. Am swamped with work, so ... don't hold your breath (perhaps
someone else, like Jules, will have the time;-).

Because it isn't the free version you're using, it is a trial version...;-)
