I never thought of that procedure to recover the items; the only alternative I think of of was to uninstall/reinstall.
Making this mistake for me was real easy. I have trouble keeping BidDefender Internet Security working if things pertaining to it are not left alone. I had wanted only to remove those items but forgot to uncheck the things found under the different categories and removed them too.
I will be very careful about this from now on. :
I am building a new Win 7 64 bit system and patiently waiting for the 2010 version to come out next month.
Thanks so much for your help.
