Any way to kill the firewall when it goes on its infinite 'allow' loop?
This keeps happening once in a while, where some file will update like GoogleDrive and the firewall 'do you want to allow this' just goes Nuts. I've been fast-clicking 'Allow' for close to 20 min now, I tried turning off the firewall in the Bitdefender settings (and then back on), changed settings to home office instead of…

Brightness of PC Changing Regularly
I am writing this post to provide my feedback for the Bitdefender Antivirus. I have an active subscription of Bitdefender Total Security and have been using it for around a month.

Hello, I was installing bitdefender and got a popup telling me that I need to close my firefox or opera to uninstall the root certificate so it can install it again, I dont really know what that means but it seemed really strange, but I panicked and think I pressed ok.

Why do I have to update Windows manually?
Why doesn't Bitdefender Total Security update Windows 10 when it checks for updates? I thought it was supposed to check for Windows updates. Lately, every time I update Bitdefender I then check for Windows updates in Windows Settings & there's an update waiting to download.

Any idea what can caused this…

Banking Notification in Bitdefender Antivirus Free - Is there any way to switch it off?
I have been trying to prevent this specific pop-up ad from reappearing in Bitdefender Antivirus Free. I am using a fresh reinstallation on Windows 10. It occurs whenever you access a banking website and it seems to be analogous to the notification prompting to user to use SafePay in the full versions of Bitdefender. From…

How to know if a scheduled scan ran successfully?
I looked first at the Windows 10 program interface, then through community questions. I'd like detailed log info, but right now I'd be okay with just knowing I've set up the scheduled scan effectively and that it's running. This doesn't seem to be a use case designed into the interface?

How to restore (or undo) Bitdefender Optimizer Registry Changes
Bitdefender's OneClick optimizer (part of my Total Security subscription) has this quirk where it tells you to approve changes to the registry, but only gives you a general idea of what will be changed. Then AFTER it makes the changes, it tells you what it did. Well, I decided to bite the bullet and try it out and I'm not…

Is there any way to turn off nuisance notifications?
When you install an antivirus you expect it to work silently in the background. The BF geeks may like their work so much they think we should sit all day admiring it, but in the real world most people only want to hear from the antivirus when there is a problem. BUT - Bitdefender is littered with annoying notifications. I…
