Best Of

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!

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!

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?

Yes

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

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.
