Hello Ilya,

Thank you for your message.

Please note that the Full Control connection mode is Remote Utilities's own connection mode and RDP is Microsoft's technology and the accompanying software (Remote Desktop Services) that does the same.
Please note that the RDP connection mode that you can see in Remote Utilities Viewer simply runs the Microsoft's RDP client, nothing more. Unfortunately, we have no control over how Microsoft's RDP client works.
However, perhaps this thread on the Microsoft help forum might provide a helpful solution.

Hope that helps.

Hello Graham,

Thank you for the clarification.

Unfortunately, we couldn't reproduce the issue. Could you please check if you have the Tabbed view checkbox enabled in the Viewer Options -> Remote Screen tab? If it's disabled, please try enabling this option on and see if this helps to resolve the issue.

Hope that helps.

Hello Christopher,

So, when I'm connected the user sees the message and when I disconnect, the message goes away.

I'm glad to hear it works for you now!

Please feel free to post another message if you have more questions or need our assistance.

Thank you.

Hello snk-nick,

Thank you for your feedback.

Unfortunately, we do not have any special relationship with a/v software vendors, this is why we always asking our users to submit a false positive report as well, since the a/v vendors are more likely to actually pay attention in case if the report comes from their own customer and resolve the issue faster. In addition, as I mentioned earlier, we submit false positive reports ourselves on a regular basis as well, but, unfortunately, sometimes it might take a while to even reach some vendors.
We're sorry to hear about BitDefender, we will definitely try contacting them once again. We apologize for the inconvenience.

I'll let you know once we get a reply from BitDefender.

Hello,

Thank you for your message.

We will immediately submit a false positive report to BitDefender, so that they can remove the detect. It would be also helpful if you could submit a false positive to them as well, since it's more likely that they'll more pay attention to a false positive report from their own existing customer and, hopefully, this will speed up the issue resolution.
You can submit a false positive report as described here. We also recommend that you add Remote Utilities installation folders to the exception list as well, just in case. Sorry for the inconvenience.

2) If that doesn't work, how can i update the remote host PC. I can access directly that PC, so I can do whatever I need by sitting in front of the remote PC.

Please try downloading the vanilla Host installer from our Download page here and simply running it on your Host machine, over the existing installation. This will update the Host's current version, but will keep all of your current settings intact.

We'll keep you updated on this and will let you know as soon as there are any updates on the issue from BitDefender.

Please let us know if you have more questions.

Hello Tomaz,

Thank you for your message.

Please try enabling the Use legacy capture mode checkbox in the Host Settings -> Other tab and see if this helps to resolve the issue. After enabling the feature please make sure to restart Host in order for the changes to be applied.
In addition, please make sure that your Host and Viewer are updated to the same version (the latest version as of this writing is 7.1.2.0) as the version mismatch might lead to performance issues or some features not working.
Las but not least, please note that this solution for similar issues with the Full Control mode not functioning properly for example, on headless machines, has been included in one of our troubleshooting KB pages here.

Hope that helps.
