Exit Bitdefender
I want to suggest a new, very simple feature, that Bitdefender should have: "Exit" I have used Bitdefender for quite some time, but I always had a problem that ended up being a dealbreaker, when I performed very performance intensive things that required my computer's 100% power, I couldn't just exit Bitdefender, so…

Please bring back the Security Widget in Total Security
As I mentioned in a different thread / category, finding out that the Security Widget as been removed from BD Total Security 2021 in the most recent version is a huge disappointment. It has been one of the best features of the product for years now for several reasons, but one main reason is that it provides an…

Backup Bitdefender Settings (VERY OLD IDEA, BUT NEVER IMPLEMENTED)
It would be VERY, VERY, VERY nice to have an option to backup/export ALL Bitdefender settings. When you have to reïnstall your OS, it would be VERY, VERY, VERY nice to have an option to restore your settings of Bitdefender ! I now make screenshots of every settings page of BD to restore it by hand ... Takes forever to…

Feature Request
I have a feature request for the developers to implement in the Bitdefender product when scanning for malware on the respective operating system (Windows, Mac, Android) 1) Is it possible to include the estimated time for the scan to be completed? 2) Is it also possible to include the percentage of the scan that has been…

Extra option for what to do on finding a problem
Long-time Kaspersky user. New user here. Trojan Generic 17890680 was found. Normally I would have asked for removal. But it turns out I Use that product for many years almost every day. So I asked BitDefender to ignore this one. But extending 'ignore' to all other findings is almost the same as not using an antivirus. New…

Firewall - Info about BLOCKED items is useless ... 2 issues
1 - You need to add a "copy and paste" feature to the text info in the firewall warning popup window.. Explanation - the firewall popup warning window asks you if you want to "block or allow" an app to access the net,,, but what the app actually is is a mystery to the average non computer user, for example i basically got…

Support Brave Browser
Hi, I know this was requested before but just today the AV vendor ESET has officially added support for Brave Browser. Actually, ESET was already doing HTTPS Scanning/Encrypted web scan on Brave but with the latest update it now officially supports it. Bitdefender can block known malicious/phishing sites accessed in Brave,…

Password protected Uninstallation of Bitdefender products
In Bitdefender Total Security (BDTS) there is an option to password protect the product settings, but that is only for the settings, not for the uninstallation process of the product. So, anyone who has access to my laptop, can easily uninstall/remove BDTS from my laptop, without me knowing that. That way, i will be…

Export/Import Settings Feature
Hello, This feature has been requested for a fair long time (about five years) by lots of your customers. Can we have it after all PLEASE? Best regards, Nick.

macOS Threats Are Evolving. Bitdefender's Protection Should Too.
I've always appreciated the care Bitdefender puts into their consumer products, anyone can bring much of the security Bitdefender sells to businesses to their home, at this point, the Windows antivirus is a mature and complete product. I think you should allocate more resources to bringing the Mac counterpart to the same…

Firewall rules: extending rules to subfolders
Many software programs today create temporary executable files (which ask to connect to Internet) in random folders. An example is Visual Studio's BackgroundDownload.exe file, which is continually created in folders like…

Feature Request: Bitdefender VPN Extension for Seamless Browser Integration
After reviewing various Bitdefender products and finding their capabilities outstanding, I am now focusing on Bitdefender VPN. It is available both as part of the Bitdefender antimalware suite and as a standalone product. I think Bitdefender should create extensions for Chrome, Firefox, and Microsoft Edge Chromium. This…

Who wants to use Bitdefender Premium VPN services on Apple TV?
I recently switched from an Android based mediacenter (Nvidia Shield TV) to the recent Apple TV 4K 2022 model. Because I'd like to view films and series which are not available in my region I'd like to use the Bitdefender Premium VPN services on my Apple TV as I used it on my Shield TV before. Unfortunately the BD-VPN app…

Add Folder to firewall rules
Hi everyone, I thought it would be a nice idea if you could add a folder to the firewall custom rules, instead of just specific executable files. Any chance we could see this? Cheers

Req visually obvious notification for required restart
I love the set-it-and-forget-it use of BD. I rarely open the dashboard. However, when a restart is required to finish an update, I will always miss it because I go weeks without restarting my PC. Could we have an obvious visual notification in the tray, please? A pop up, mouse-over balloon, flashing icon or change of color…

Option to disable Anti-Theft
It is good to have some kind of control when someone steals or you lose your device but in my opinion it shouldnt be forced and not possible to disable. Not everyone wants there to be an option to wipe their device with 1 click or track/lock it. For me personally i just dont feel safe knowing that if anyone with malicious…

Passkeys
The use of physical passkeys to login into accounts and especially for secure pass, with technology ever evolving and hackers getting smarter i can't understand why this hasn't been enabled yet especially with devices like a simple charging cable borrowed from someone in an emergency with a keylogger. 2FA just isn't safe…

Remove, or make optional, the Bitdefender "safe" label in Email Protection
For me, having the "Dangerous" label is all that is required. By definition, all other incoming emails are safe. I don't like getting every single email tagged with a useless label. It should at least be optional if users want the "safe" label. Yes, I know that some users might not understand that Email Protection only…

Make The New VPN Window Resizeable
Why in "The wide, wide world of sports" would you make a great new window unsizeable? Sheesh.

Show which protected path is being accessed on Safe Files prompts.
I want to propose adding a logical detail when Safe Files is triggered, right now a prompt looks like this: This only shows what app is trying to access a protected path, but omits a crucial information: which path is being accessed. This is very important when deciding whether to authorize the access or not, because that…

Yubikey support bitdefender central
Can bitdefender central get Yubikey support option to help make login be more secure? Same could be done for application’s password protection setting.

UI option for bitdefender labs
UI needs integrated option to send false positives/suspected file to labs from product rather than on a website page. Easier and more safe option PS:App needs a support tab on side for contact numbers,chat and what said above etc.

Instant Wi-Fi intruder alerts for Mac
Hi everyone! I wanted to request the Bitdefender developers to add Wi-Fi intruder alerts as a feature. I've been using Avast Premium Security as my security solution on Mac for some time now, but I've been wanting to switch over to Bitdefender for Mac, it has all the features Avast has except for this one, which I think is…

Add Bitdefender Scan to Context Menu in Windows File Explorer
I could not find an easy way to do a one time scan on an attached USB HDD, without going thru setups for a scan. Adding Scan to Windows File Explorer Context Menus, as was available with Kaspersky, would be a big time saver.

Bitdefender Digital Identity (Theft) Protection in BD Central Mobile
It would be a nice addition if the Bitdefender Digital Identity Protection / Theft Protection is / are being implemented in the Bitdefender Central mobile app. This gives you enhanced insights regarding your digital identity in the mobile Central app. This would save you time and gives you better insight in your digital…

Seamless switching between VPN and Web Protection
The VPN app has an option to auto-connect to VPN when connected to an open WiFi-network. Great feature. But it doesn’t switch automatically back to the Web Protection connection (on iOS). This leads to a constant connection to the VPN. Not bad for your security and / or privacy, but: It could be annoying to manually switch…

Show reputation rating about a file & submit False Positive directly in the product
I am not sure if Bitdefender has reputation cloud or something like that. Based on my experience with ESET, Kaspersky and Norton, I find the reputation quary feature (ESET's LiveGrid, Kaspersky's KSN and Norton's file insight) very useful when deciding whether or not to open a file. For example, if I want to open a file…

Fix the restore functionality for quarantined files
Hi, I'm currently using the trial version of Total Security, and while I like many aspects of the software, the program's inability to restore quarantined files to certain directories like "C:\Program Files" is very annoying. I never experienced something like this in other AV products. Thankfully, using Windows 10's…

Searching for Pause here in the community returns feature requests spanning over the past several years to add a Pause Protection feature to Bitdefender like most all other security programs already have available. Pause Protection is typically located on the taskbar icon menu along with time increments such as 1 minute, 5…
