Bitdefender broken!!! Windows 10 Desktop flashing/flickering issue
Great, I just had to reinstall Windows 10, because of a broken BitDefender!!!
After I rebooted my PC and logged in, Windows Explorer would suddenly start to flicker. I disabled all Autostart items, with no success. I rebooted into Safe Mode to uninstall BitDefender to see wheather it was causing the issue or not, but I could not uninstall it. After hours of wasting time, I decided to reinstall Windows completely.
Well, right after a fresh install, the first thing I installed was BitDefender Total Security, and rebooted. Guess what, the flickering started again. This time, I was able to uninstall it in Safe Mode. Rebooted -> Flickering didn't occur anymore.
Never ever - BitDefender! (Cool, it even rhymes)

I have decided not to renew my license because of the notifications!
The Return of the Security Widget
Hello everyone,
We are happy to announce that the Security widget will be making its return to our Bitdefender products!
When?
Soon, very soon actually. In Q1 of 2021.
Although it is making a return, it'll also get a visual revamp and some under-the-hood changes.
Here is a preview of what it will look like once it's back:
We're interested in keeping the conversation going and to see your thoughts on the new look and so we encourage you to give us your feedback on this topic down below!
Thank you again for all your support and for reaching out on an issue that you care so deeply about. We wouldn't be where we are without our users and we hope to reach even greater heights together!

So It Seems The Security Widget Is Gone For Good?
I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Bitdefender Total Security, and right off the bat I'm off-put by the atrocious new UI. But what's especially disappointing is that it seems as though the Security Widget is no longer available. Is this really the case? Or is it just hidden really good?
Dishonest auto-renewal policy
I thought your product was supposed to keep customers safe from online threats.
So do you think it is acceptable to take money from a Paypal account with no notification beforehand or afterwards?
Even if the answer is yes to the previous question, is it alright to take an automatic payment 209 days before the subscription expires?
Do you think it is acceptable to charge £49.99 for renewal when I can buy a one year contract on Amazon for £20? That's a great reward for customer loyalty!
Your auto-renewal policy is a disgrace and you should be ashamed of yourselves. Your company is little better than the scammers your product is designed to protect customers from. I expect an immediate refund of my (7 month) premature subscription.
Re: smart tv
Hi @123pete,
Depending on the TV type, it's possible that you can find the Bitdefender Mobile Security app in the store, but it wouldn't be able to provide full functionality since a TV does not 'behave' like a phone in many ways.
The only solution that would provide proper protection for non-traditional devices such as laptops/PCs/Macs/phones is Bitdefender BOX.
Hope this helps.

Re: How to add steam games to game profile
Actually I just worked this out. While you have the game running, press ctrl+shift+esc to bring up the task manager. In the processes tab, you should see your game high up in the list. Right click the game process and select "open file location" this will show you where the game exe is located. It will be listed as "application" in the type details. Point bit defender here.
Hope this helps

Re: Bitdefender and Malwarebytes
The place where adding malwarebytes will hold an advantage will be for pup/ pua detection & malicious registries cleaning. Bitdefender is average in handling these kind of things. I am personally using BIS 2021 with malwarebytes free, doing weekly scans with malwarebytes free, no need of buying premium.

Re: How do I install Bitdefender onto a Samsung tablet via USB from an Imac
Hello @Roy03 , in order to have an android device protected with our solution, installation and synchronization via Google Play Store is required. Otherwise, we are unable to ensure your device's security, thus, we do not have a workaround for this specific situation.
