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…

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…

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,…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

Parental Control Advanced Warning To End User affected by ScreenTime / Schedule time
It's very frustrating for the kids doing something on the computer to suddenly be kicked off the device (here being the computer), without being able to save their work in progress. This results in me having to disable the screen time for 5 minutes so they can go back and save whatever they are doing (or shutoff specific…

Bulk submission of malicious phishing links for analysis
When reporting phishing links, you should be able to submit phishing links in bulk instead of one by one especially since there is a 2 minute cooldown for submissions. Please also add a tool that you can use to mass check if the links you are about to submit are already detected by Bitdefender or not.

Defenders of the month rewards
Hi everyone, At the moment when you get the defenders of the month reward it's a free month validity extension to Bitdefender. Getting a free month sub is great but how about letting the defenders of the month choose from different rewards. Maybe instead of automatically getting the free month sub you get tokens that you…

Future Feature: Split-Tunneling Config File?
It does not seem possible to save locally, or on the cloud, a split-tunneling configuration/list file. This would imply the ability to also import said file into Bitdefender. This would save having to manually enter repeatedly apps and websites for each device. Is this a reasonable ask?

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…

Exclusions in Mobile Security for Android
Hello, I'd like to request an exclude/ignore list for threat scans on Android, both app and storage. While the app can't remove the threats by itself, it most certainly is irritating to see a red shield for just a couple of riskware apps that I perfectly am aware of the risks of .
