What is the new WiFi Advisor and Public WiFi Profile?
I don't understand how does the new WiFi advisor and Public WiFi profile work. 1) So I keep moving between my home, my parent's home, my sister's home, my office etc - which is all home/office WiFi.

So, what does ransomware do?
I bought BD last month and today tried the Ransomware module. I added a directory and rebooted. Nothing has changed; shouldn't it be doing something? Isn't it supposed to alert me when I try to delete a file from the protected directory? It doesn't. What does do? How can I test it?

Internet slowdown, multiple port scans and bitdefender crash
Hello everyone. So last night I have had a rather unusual evening. My internet was so slow that I could not do anything.

I am sometimes bothered by clicking a link and it goes to 'goac' which then shows that my comp is infected, and freezes my browser. The culprit seems to be http://www.gocloudly.com/goac/index.html?.
