Say some hackers got control of a popular open source repository (for the purpose of this example, let's give it a fun name like XZ Utils). The hackers then program a rootkit into the next release, and then send it public. How well could Bitdefender protect against such an attack, if at all?

Hi everyone, I recently noticed that my printer sometimes doesn’t respond when I try to print test pages or simple documents on my Windows PC.

I have Total Security and keep reading that it's great at filtering spam emails. But all I see within Bitdefender is email protection as in stopping dangerous emails. If it has actual spam filtering beyond just dangerous emails, can you tell me why I can't find it within the program? Thanks, Linche
