Re: Firewall notifs : RarSFX0\installer.exe to 93.184.220.29/0 Port : HTTP
You can check the IP address on virustotal (https://www.virustotal.com/gui/url/) where it will get scanned by multiple vendors, if there is no detection, you can assure that you are safe.
Additionally you can also check if these IP are blacklisted or not(https://www.whatismyip.com/blacklist-check/) and if everything comes normal again then you should assume that everything is safe and there is nothing to worry.
Additionally go to the source directory which you mentioned (C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\RarSFX0\installer.exe, C:\Users\...\AppData\Local\Temp\uqsgtqqb.fyz\resources\app\ServiceHub\Services\Microsoft.VisualStudio.Setup.Service\BackgroundDownload.exe) and upload the last .exe file on virustotal.com to check with different vendors if the files are malicious or not.
If you find the files as malicious and not detected by bitdefender, you can always share the undetected file with the bitdefender malware researchers via filling up online forum (https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/40673/) and if the file is indeed malicious, detection will be created in maximum of 72 hours.
Hope this helps.

Re: How to stop bitdefender popups/notifications
That did not work. Problem is notifications of events that are selected to work AUTOMATICALLY therefore in the background and I don't need to be interrupted to be told that the virus checker is doing what I have told it to do. There is a notifications section on the dashboard that could be used for this but, once again that would fill a drive with information that I don't need nor want to know.
Biggest problem exists when I change from Gaming to work mode and it tells me how wonderful its been in optomising the system. Yes ive just changed modes and Yes you have just changed modes too and Yes I did set it so you do this and NO I don't want to stop what I'm doing to look at a pop up that tells me the settings are doing exactly what I set them to do.
I want relevant popups E.G. Warning malicious web site, Warning virus detected @....and yes warn about a new usb inserted and offer to scan.
How bitdefender got to be in the top recommended units I don't know as it interrupts workflow on a regular basis with irrelevant data, is slow to check drives, does not seem to have an easily accessible virus encyclopedia, slows downloads while checking, forces renewals and does not have a big price advantage.

Web Protection and VPN on iPhone makes the network connection too slow: iPhone / iPad
I have a iPhone X running on iOS 13.4
After turning on Web Protection, entire web traffic is slow or sometimes it wont work. For example, after turning on web protection Skype no longer receives new messages nor we cant send new message. The scroll goes for ever. Web browsing in Safari is also significantly slow. Because of all these network related issues, I need to keep the web protection and VPN OFF all the time. Connectivity in most of the apps are affected due to Bitdefender.
Anyone else facing this issue?
I have already reported this issue to Bitdefender team.
Stop VPN from reintalling?
I have BitDefender installed on a MacBook Pro and Mac Mini. I'm pretty sure BitDefender didn't have a VPN when I first started using it. I have another VPN that I use, which I've subscribed to for several years and am happy with. I've never used the BitDefender VPN, and don't want it on my Macs using up disk space and resources. The BitDefender VPN starts up every time I start my Macs, even though I have "Run at Startup" turned off. I've uninstalled it from both Macs several times now with the BitDefender uninstaller. BitDefender automatically reinstalls the VPN within a day or so every time I uninstall it. It does this without asking, and with no indication that it's reinstalling it. It just shows back up. I've looked through the BitDefender settings, and don't see any setting I could change that would stop the VPN from being automatically reinstalled.
This is completely obnoxious and uncalled for. I'm about ready to completely uninstall all of BitDefender and switch to another product because of this - even though I have a lot of time left on my license. Is there any way to stop this ridiculous behavior?? I Googled and found others having this same issue, but none seem to have found a solution. One person said they had contacted support about this, and support said it was a known issue they were looking into - but that was last year! Ugh.

Re: Two Macs Only Recognized as One on Central
Has there been a real solution to this issue yet. I have 3 MacBook Pro's and all are recognised as the same machine and overwrite each other in Central when I install Bitdefender. I refuse to have 3 different accounts just to make life easier for Bitdefender. All MAC addresses recognised as AC:DE:48:00:11:22 in Central despite each of the Macs having completely different addresses when I check myself. If I apply parental controls to one Mac, it applies to all 3.
This issue is well over 2 years old now so where is the solution???
Im currently on a 30 day trail, but if the answer to this issue is a lazy "workaround" I won't be signing up.
Re: How to stop bitdefender popups/notifications
I totally agree.
Bitdfender, please remove this popup!
Thank you.
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)
