Unlocking file
Hi. I have no idea if this is the correct forum, so move this if required. I have a problem with Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2017 (paid version) where it "locks" a file until reboot. The file is protected with a program named "ConfuserEX" which "protects" and/or "obfuscates" .NET files, making it probably look like malware.…

Anyway to totally shut down Bitdefender 2017?
I'm a gamer and sometimes use game "trainers" and such stuff. These inject code so get flagged as a virus by most security software. That can usually be handled by making exceptions. A few days ago I started using one of these items and it's totally not compatible with Bitdefender 2017. I shut down all modules, make…

BD2017 cannot start after Windows 10 Creator Update
Hey all, I have updated to Windows 10 Creator, and now Bitdefender 2017 will not start. The service runs for a few seconds then stops. This looks to be due to the new security stuff added in the Windows update, but I'm not able to disable any of the Windows components. I've tried doing a 'repair' on Bitdefender, but this…

Firewall Logs
Greetings! I'd engaged support earlier this year while attempting to trouble shoot a firewall issue and being unable to find the logs.

Thunderbird AntiSpam
This isn't as question as much as an opinion. I am using Total Sec 2017 and while I like it, I am quite dismayed over their worthless email antispam module. Perhaps IF I knew it was so lame, i'd have gone with another product. It doesn't work, and i had no idea why until I found a post in here that it ONLY works in POP3.…

Do We really Need Total Security 2017?
With all the monstrous security crises recently with the product malfunctioning, do we really need it? All I want is antivirus, anti-malware, e-mail scanner, phishing blocker and key-logger blocker.

What Happened to "BitDefender Awake"?
For a while, BD was very slow to do anything on my system after booting up. Then, after a while BitDefender Awake! popped up. How daft, I thought. Then it went away and I've not seen it since. So, what was this, what was it doing and where has it gone? Is BitDefender always sleeping now? Cheers!

What Does "Block Port Scans" Actually Do?
I have updated every year since 2012. In Total Security 2017 Firewall, there is a setting to block port scans in the network. What does this actually do, what are the pros and cons, should I enable or disable it? I usually have it on but have had some problems recently. Even though it is always on, it has not blocked a…
