Cannot disabale some features (file extensions/task manager).
Good evening, I'm here to have some clarifications. It's a little while since I can't hide the file extensions from the File Manager. I know, 'cause I've read something in this forum, that it's a security feature of the antivirus to prevent the that an exe could mimic another file (like a PDF in example). But I consider…

Music Thread
I've read some posts by members on the "What are your hobbies", and "Tell us about yourself" threads who have mentioned that they liked and appreciated listening to music, as I'm sure most of us do 😊 So I thought to create a thread where we could share some of our favorites. I'm not sure what format would be supported,…

Why is my screen occasionally dimming/flashing, similar to how a screen capture does?
My macpro (M1, Sonoma 14.5) screen occasionally dims/flashes similar to how a screen capture tool does. I've checked the Accessibility settings and the "Flash the screen when an alert sound occurs" is OFF. It could be something innocuous, but it also could be a screen shot capture function of MS Teams, or a virus or…

Are virtual/mixed reality glasses really safe?

Can I use BD to check if an online download is safe before I click on the download button?
For example: I went to the sejda . com / desktop webpage. There is a huge green button that says Free Download. I tried to right click on it to see if I could get BD to scan it and then tell me if it was safe or not before I clicked on it. But BD doesn't offer such a feature. It may not be possible. I don't know. BUT is…

Adding firewall rules is a painfully slowww and cumbersome user experience and must be redesigned
As a Bitdefender power user I want to be able to quickly add multiple firewall rules so that the application doesn’t slow me down and subject me to a poorly designed user experience that apparently no experienced UX designer has ever looked at. What should take at most 30 seconds, on average takes 5, 10 or more minutes.…
