Vulnerability Scan
BD vulnerability scan tells me that I have 39 critical Windows updates to install. Windows update tells me that most of these updates have already been installed and the rest do not apply to my computer. A bug?

Safepay and VPN
Hi... I see that BD has recently added Hotspot Shields' VPN to their security suite. I also see that Safepay has the option to automatically connect to the VPN when the Safepay browser is opened. Can anyone tell me exactly what extra security is provided by using the Safepay browser with the VPN enabled.

Question about Meltdown and Spectre 'bugs'
I know this question is more for the processor manufacturers but I'll put it out here because I know there are some very knowledgeable people on this forum. Now that Microsoft has released their patch to deal with these 'bugs', I'm wondering if we are now truly protected. Although the software patch seems to address the…

Wrong Location
Hi...When I go to the Anti theft module in My Bitdefender, it is showing me a location about 10 miles from my house. Why is it showing me this location? Why is it showing me any location? Does this feature not have to be enabled? I have no devices. Only my desktop computer.

A Complaint
For two days now the forums have been overrun with this bloody Chinese(?) spam to the point of making them practically unusable and absolutely no response from BD. This is totally unprofessional. TOTALLY! It really makes me wonder about the rest of their operation.

Central Question
Hi...In BD Central, up toward the top right corner, is a little bell shaped icon which brings up a list of notifications stating 'New Issues on Main'. Just wondering how I find out what these 'issues' are. A couple of other things while I'm at it. Clicking on any link which says 'Go To Bitdefender Central', just takes me…

Update Bugs
Hi...After the latest build update to 18.19.0.1345, I have noticed a couple of things. First, the BD GUI no longer shows the last scan status. Only the last update information is displayed. Second, the sandbox function in the BD toolbar is no longer working in any of my browsers. I have IE 11 and the latest versions of…

Conflict With Malwarebytes Anti-exploit
I recently installed Malwarebytes Anti-Exploit. It works fine with IE11 and Firefox but Chrome will not load. If I turn off BD Active Virus Control, Chrome will load normally. The MA-E forum shows that everyone running BD has this problem. Hopefully this can be sorted out between the two companies.

Still No Rescue Mode
Rescue Mode is still not functional after the latest update. Are you still working on a fix for this for the people who have this problem, or is it just being swept under the rug similar to the Ghost Traffic problem? I have done a remote session and submitted all the info as requested but months go by without any…

Need Some Info
I'm assuming that the info stored in the BD wallet is encrypted and stored on a BD server somewhere. So I'm also assuming that if I repair or reinstall BD, that info will still be available to me. Also, if one day I leave BD for a different product, what becomes of all that stored information?

[fixed] Safebox Folder
Anyone know how to remove Safebox Folder from the desktop? I delete it and it comes back every time I open Bitdefender. I am not using the Safebox feature.

Autoscan Takes Longer Now
With BDTS 2013, Autoscan would take 4 days to scan my computer. This was quite consistant. Now, with The New BD, Autoscan is taking at least 8 days to complete a scan. I'm not seeing any benefits from the Photon Technology.

Update Reboot Blues
Yesterday I received update to build No. 16.23.0.1637. Since then I have had to reboot my computer 8 times. It seems that everytime BD checks for updates, a reboot is required. Really guys, there must be a better way.

Need Some User Input
hi....I'm currently using the trial version of BDW8 security. I can't register because my key is for BDTS. Anyway that's not the issue. Apart from the Elam technology, I can't say that there is anything I really like about this W8 version. Certainly not the interface. And if you are coming from the BDTS 2014 Beta you have…

How Safe Is Safepay
Something happened today which I find a little disconcerting. I was downloading an Nvidia update and when I checked my downloads folder to see if it was there I noticed another subfolder marked Safepay. I don't remember ever seeing that folder before and upon opening it I found two PDF documents containing some sensitive…

Important Sighting

Life Is Good
Hi Christian... Since I am always posting on this forum asking for help or complaining about something, I thougt it only fair to give credit where credit is due. At the moment, Bitdefender is performing remarkably well. All features are working well, CPU usage is within reason (much less than some other Security…

Security Widget Bug
The security widget shows a red box in events but when clicking thru all the modules, there are no events to be found. Also when there is an actual event, clicking on the widget takes you to the events overview but there is no corresponding red box in any of the modules. You have to click on each module in turn until you…

An Observation
It seems that many people, myself included, are having problems with different aspects of the Security Widget. In their race to stay ahead of the competition, security suite vendors are always looking for new features to add to their programs. Some of these, such as Safepay, are brilliant. Others, such as the Security…

Sandbox Not Working
Hi Guys....I recently tried to use the sandbox feature in IE browser and found that it wasn't working. Another page would come up but wouldn't load, and then disappear. The page did not appear to be sandboxed. So I tried Firefox. A sandboxed page would come up but wouldn't load. I got the message' Server Not Found'. So I…

No Scan Logs
Hi Christian...As is usual for my machine, the autoscan changed from 'Last scan 3 days ago' to 'Last scan today'. However once again there are no scan logs. I would like to know exactly what Auto Scan is scanning. I can only remember one time when there was a log for the auto scan and as I recall, it was a very abbreviated…

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool
Hi Christian...Just a quick question. Every month Microsoft releases a series of security updates. Included among these is the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool. This tool will run automatically when the updates are installed. Do you recommend not to install this tool? Will it conflict with Bitdefender? Also, I have…
