I have been testing patchmypc on different computers. When I have tried using it on computers that have either Bitdefender Internet Security 2012, or AV plus 2012, I get the message that you have to be connected to the internet, no internet connection detected. I have tried adding pmpc to the exclusions, turning auto scan settings off, bitdefender firewall off, add www.patchmypc.net and .com to trusted zones. The only way I can get it to work is to uninstall Bitdefender, then it works no problem, so I know it's the bitdefender that's blocking it. When I googled this, I came across a post of yours in the bitdefender forums. It seemed they had addressed the issue at that time, but now it is back.
