Go to run

find and right click Bit Defender Arrakis Server
Click on its Properties
Set it to AUTOMATIC
This will fix the BD2009 glitch.

Your BD installation may be corrupt?
If your using XP then play safe by making a restore point first.
Copy your registration key.
Open program files / BD / Repair or Remove.
Remove / Uninstall BD.
Go to their site http://www.bitdefender.com/site/Downloads/
Download and install trial version BD total security 2009 (same as full, but will request reg. key after trial period) then enter your reg. key to open full version.

I just re-checked.
Change " Background Intelligent Transfer Service" from manual to automatic.
If not that then see my previous comment.

Is windows XP udated & its firewall turned off?
Is BD icon red?, R click it, click "show", click "general", what does "registration & expires in " say?
Are you running any other virus softwares or firewalls & what kind of internet connection?
How did you install BD, from download or CD? & did BD update during install?
Have you contacted BD support about this?
Since you have 2 other PC's, then test one as I said before: Your BD installation may be corrupt?

I did some more research & this should fix your problem.
I see from your post that BitDefender Desktop Update Service is set to auto. but has not started,so:
- go to Start and click Run;
- type "services.msc" and hit Enter (without the quotation marks);
- right-click BitDefender Desktop Update Service and select Start.
- open BitDefender in Advanced View and check if the Update module is working properly.
If still not updating then download this BD Retore Patch.
http://www.bitdefender.com/files/KnowledgeBase/file/patch_upgrade_files.EXE
- Download the patch and save it on your desktop;
- Run it and wait until it completes (it may take from 5 to 20 minutes);
- reboot the computer after the procedure is finished;
- check if the BitDefender Update Module is working properly.
Happy computing
