AI-generated voices, fake delivery messages and impersonation scams are becoming increasingly convincing. What's the most realistic scam you've come across, and what gave it away? Curious whether people are finding these harder to recognize.

In Bitdefender GravityZone I was able to normally block the sites I wanted, however youtube does not block it at all. I blocked it by category, and even added it to the exceptions *.youtube.com as blocked, but it doesn't block!

I use the Bridge Solver extension to Firefox and linked to Bridge Base Online hand records running under Windows 10. This worked fine until about a week ago when I started getting these warnings: We blocked this dangerous page for your protection: https://dds.bridgewebs.com/bsol2/ddummy6.js?ver=162 Threat name:…

Just had a popup on my Android mobile requesting I update the app, which I did through Google Play. I was then presented with a T&C request which mentioned accepting them, and a 'Subscription' . No idea what this subscription was, what it might cost and what did it do in addition to the mobile protection I already paid for…

I believe that humor and laughter should always be part of our daily lives. As E.E. Cummings used to say: "The most wasted of all days is one without laughter". No matter where you are, you deserve a good laugh. My proposal for you from this day onwards is to have our own happy place within this Community and share the…

Hi All, Am I able to scan a specific app on my Android phone with BD Mobile Security? Then, same question for BD app on a Mac OS Laptop, can I direct the app to scan a specific app? Grateful for confirmation either way. Thanks for your time and assistance. Dave

I recently installed Bitdefender on several family pc's and laptops. A vulnerability scan indicated there was a low level threat with my Wi-Fi. Upon looking at the details, I noted that Bitdefender recognized my Wi-Fi was encrypted, but it claimed I have no password. Every time I connect to the Wi-Fi I get an annoying…

My idea is documented here: https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/107084/feature-request-cookie-protection/p1 I’d like to suggest a specific security feature to help prevent browser cookie theft, which is increasingly being used to hijack Google and YouTube accounts, potentially bypassing passwords and two-factor…

Good Day everyone, I have been monitoring and noticing that whenever I try to add country code to the list of call blocking, the country code is there for a while and after say 1-2 hours, when you check back, the country code is missing from the lists from the BMS for android. So far I have tried reinstalling the…

I use the latest version of Omnissa ThinApp Enterprise 2603.0.0-279 ("ThinApp") together with Bitdefender Total Security on a fully updated installation of Windows 11 Pro (latest build and updates installed). To get ThinApp itself to run, I first have to manually create Advanced Threat Defense exclusions for multiple…

I have Total Security and keep reading that it's great at filtering spam emails. But all I see within Bitdefender is email protection as in stopping dangerous emails. If it has actual spam filtering beyond just dangerous emails, can you tell me why I can't find it within the program? Thanks, Linche

vivaldi.exe is allowed in app access application rule doesn't have the "blue slider" but lists a bunch of "any network any protocol both directions all allowed" Problem example: when I load Facebook and begin scrolling through posts, the posts go blank.

Today, while my desktop (Windows 10) was running, my local area experienced an electrical power outage. After power was restored I started the computer and resumed my work. After opening the Bitdefender app I noticed the scheduled update time (updates scheduled every 1 hour) had lapsed and no update initiated. Upon opening…

I am experiencing a persistent issue where SMS Protection and Scam Notification Protection constantly turn themselves off. Even after manually toggling them on and granting all required system permissions, the toggles revert back to disabled ("Enable for full protection") shortly after or upon reopening the app. Support…

I have "alert mode" enabled so it always asks me whether to allow/deny a new application's access to the internet, or after that application has changed. For example: Problem: Since an apparent Bitdefender update around yesterday, it's been repeatedly asking me to approve the same exact applications back to back, over and…

AI is evolving rapidly, and we're entering a new era where AI agents can do much more than simply answer questions. They can write and execute code, access files, interact with applications, and perform complex tasks on our behalf. But with these new capabilities come new security challenges. We're excited to introduce…

recently i sent bdsyslogs to malware research team because I had a suspicion a close friend of mine has been monitoring me/ratting me or put spyware on my device that cant be detected via regular scan.

I had thought my laptop was stolen and had triggered the wipe command. The laptop was off but eventually it was found safe. I will be doing an offline backup just in case.

There is an incorrect Dutch translation in BD Central app. When configuring a device, it says 'Bespaar', which should be 'Opslaan'.

We have an on-prem Gravity zone server in an offline network and we used to download the offline update archives from an update server provided by another office of ours. Due to some budget cuts, we lost that office and now we have to make our own update server. I've installed the DB and Update server rolls, set the…

Hi, Today after an update that completely changed Bitdefender's UI (which is awful btw), the security widget that was on my desktop is gone.

I can't get my file shredder to delete a file. When I click for more information it says file not found but, I can go open and look at the file I want to delete.
