Chrome Web Protection - Adding Exception Lists
I never thought I would enable this, but I ended up enabling it.

Firewall , alert mode - error
I have a problem with the firewall. Bitdefender itself is letting all my traffic go to the network and the “alert mode” option turns itself off. I noticed that this happens when using Office365 or Exell. You can't even turn on this blocking because it bounces to off. The worst part is that the firewall itself lets go of…
