Best Of

Most anti-virus programs interfere with restore points being successfully restored, not just BD. Restore points themselves are not reliable. I have had the best success running restore points in Safe Mode.

As for uninstalling Bitdefender 2020 Total Security, see this link and follow the instructions. Then follow up with the dedicated uninstaller, which you can download from this BD web page.

Good luck, and I hope this helps you. Have a great day.

Regards,

Re: In the "Free" Version of Bit-Defender...

https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/82762/in-the-free-version-of-bit-defender

Hi Member

1) Every bitdefender product updates itself after every 1 hour (be it paid or free) . In simple words, time interval between 2 successful update is 1 hour. The only thing bitdefender free lacks is the force update option which is only available in paid version of product. In paid version you can also manually check for updates whenever you want.

2) Similar to its paid version, the free version also constantly monitors the system for any malicious activity in the background.

3) You can also perform manual scans via free version, if you need to.

If this helps, kindly mark answer as agree/ accepted

A better Parental Control monitoring and reports.

Bitdefender has excelled in every department in cyber security, but when it comes to parental control features, I am sorry to say it feels rather lackluster, or an afterthought, due to the lack of some core features such as:

1- Useful notifications, so for example, instead of flooding me with notifications such as: "We have detected that (x) has tried to access a website that displays content from the "Social Networks" category" how about telling me what exactly was that website so I can make use of this info!

2- A detailed record/report of websites activity, with proper links. I am a parent not a research center, so when I ask for a web activity report or record I am expecting a plain list full of urls, not a statistic telling me that your child spent 50% of his time last week watching videos or playing games!! Keep these analytics in a separated panel.

Re: File Shredder??

https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/82736/file-shredder

@mdgboxx

Well I guess it is quite good that bitdefender hanged itself on 0% since file shredder is a part of bitdefender product which tends to delete the files that you no longer need on your computer and prevents the file recovery even with any data recovery software.

Assuming that your windows was stored on C : drive and you were using the PC in general mode instead of safe mode, you were lucky enough you did not shred your windows files or else the system would have become unbootable.

More information about file shredder : https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/2179/

Additionally, both revo uninstaller & iobit uninstaller are the software that tend to delete/ uninstall a particular software from your system which you do not need. The advantage of these software over inbuilt windows uninstaller is that, it removes every trace of the software from you PC for the application you want to install which inbuilt windows uninstaller fails sometimes.

Re: File Shredder??

https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/comment/296819#Comment_296819

Well I have no exact answer as to why it prompted you to use file shredder, but it is advisable, as per me to neglect that notification until you seriously want a specific file to be permanently deleted from your system without a chance of recovery by any means.

But be active as to what you are shredding. It is not advisable to shred any file/ folder in the drive where windows or your applications are installed.

So if your windows is stored in C: drive (let's suppose), then it is not recommended to use file shredder on below stated C: drive folders :

C:\Program Files

C:\Program Files (x86)

C:\ProgramData

C:\Users

C:\Windows

Any improper shredding of files in these folder may either lead to crashing/ hanging of your windows or non functionality of your software application.
