Bit Defender Total Security
49% CPU usage on an i7 - really? Even with every single part of the product disabled. bdservicehost - BitDefender Virus Shield. When your AV starts to behave like a virus ( looking at you Norton360 and IBM Trusteer) you know it's time for different AV. Can you sort this / are you aware of it / are you fixing it?

Really, really tired of the "Unsafe Wifi" popup
I've been happy with Bitdefender since installing it some 8 months ago. With one major exception. I'm really tired of having the Bitdefender VPN pushed on me practically every time I log in. I don't want the Bitdefender VPN, I have a product with which I'm very pleased and I have no desire or intention to change. Most…

Great Product - lousy customer service and VPN?
I am presently on the last few days of a trial on the top of the product line that promises priority next in line customer service. I have had 5 requests for help and the fastest response was 21 hours. Presently I have 2 waiting for response from over 20 hours ago. It took 6 hours just to acknowledge receipt of some. I…

Now that I've become a user, my iMac crashes about once every 3-4 hours. How can I prevent this?
I'm running on macOS Catalina 10.15.7. The screen and cursor freeze, forcing me to do a manual shut-off. After re-starting, the cursor is still frozen, requiring a second shut-off. The pattern is always the same. Happens approximately every 3-4 hours of use.

Bitdefender and Malwarebytes
After buying an Orbi I went all in with Bitdefender Total Security and so far I am very happy with it. However, I'm wondering if adding Malwarebytes would increase the protection of my system? What're your thoughts? Thanks in advance for your comments and suggestions.

Box 2 Compatible with Nest WiFi?
I was wondering if the Box 2 was compatible with WiFi extenders like Google's Nest WiFi pods? I was using a traditional router for a while but the range isn't big enough. I need a system like the multiple WiFi pods google offers to reach everywhere in my house. I read in the past that the Box 2 couldn't work with mesh WiFi…

Bitdefender Spam
What does Bitdefender have to spam adverts from within the application? I regularly get pop ups with all sorts of cr*p being touted. Well done BD - its the perfect way to set me off looking for another AV provider. Loose the Spam! I'm grown up enough to make my own decisions. I picked your product in the first place didn't…

Will you bring back the widget?
We want the widget back otherwise how would we know at a glance if Bitdefender is running or if it started at startup. To remove the widget is a bad idea I think I may move on to another product, I liked the widget.

This is not a question, but a rant.
I am thoroughly pissed that Bitdefender has chosen to remove the Security Widget.

Gone not good
I've used BD on multiple devices for years and the widget is/was a peace of mind knowing whats going on. Now that its gone its like sending a kid off to college. (I want it back.) Sorry for beating a dead widget but, I might as well have some other antivirus who also lurks in the shadows.

what happened to the security widget and the percentage the scans are running at???
Can you please bring back the security widget and also bring back the % that shows what percentage the scans are at when they are scanning. Without it you can't tell how long the scan will be, especially the system scan. They were very helpful. I am so disappointed with this.

Scan taking very long time
Hello Community, I just downloaded Bitdefender for the first time today and have started my first scan running. So far it has taken 2 hours 40 minutes to scan just 8%. I understand that many factors can affect scan time (CPU, RAM, disk size etc.) but this seems rather excessive and is far longer than the other anti-virus…

Please reinstate the widget for at least the older community.
As the years roll on and the concentration span fades, any system assistance and user reassurance that can help to safely navigate the internet is essential. We are a family of old people assisting very old people with their daily internet chores. Thank You.

High CPU Usage While Computer Locked
When I lock my Windows 10 computer, as soon as the screen turns off, the fan gets very loud due to high CPU usage. However, as soon as I unlock the computer, the CPU drops and the fan soon shuts off. When I check Task Manager immediately upon unlocking, usually the System process has the most usage (sub-10%), but I do not…

Offline download of Bitdefender 2020 installation\signature\update files
Hi there, I recently bought the Bitdefender 2020 multi-device subscription and am planning to use one of the licenses for my mother-in-law's computer. As she lives in an aged care facility which only has ADSL2+, the download speed\connectivity is expected to be very slow and it would therefore take ages to…
