Is anyone else considering ditching bitdefender because it’s parental control app is so poor?
there is a recurrent theme here; the parental app does not really work even on its own terms never mind from a parents point of view. It is appallingly weak on iPhones, you may have heard of them, although bitdefender doesn’t seem that aware that this brand of phone exists.. I am thinking of ditching my total security…

Does Bitdefender auto delete files anymore?
Hi, US Banned Kaspersky. I am looking for an alternative now. I tried Bitdefender many many years ago.

Firewall Permission Dialog Box Is Poorly Coded. Any Explanation?
