Advanced Threat Defence - adding multiple exceptions at once
Don't know if this has been asked before, but I couldn't find any topics about this. I play a heavily modded game that uses a lot of different exe files in a lot of different folders.

What does a checkmark mean when adding exceptions?
On this screen: What does the on switch for the antivirus mean? Is that a yes, antivirus will be active for this folder and all of its subfolders? Or yes antivirus protection will be excluded from this folder and all of its subfolders? What do the checkmarks mean? Does a checked On-access scan mean that yes, antivirus will…

Why does "Exclusions" do nothing and why are customers not being answered?
I've gotten fed up yet again. I came back to using BitDefender after the last time I had this exact problem, and nothing seems to have changed. Not only does setting files and folders within the "Exclusions" list not do a thing, neither does turning off protection so I can try to at least, RE-install the program that was…

Poll: Should Bitdefender Make A Linux Version for Home Users?
As a longtime user of Bitdefender (since 2014), the topic of a Linux version has been floating around on and off for the past decade. However, what makes these requests different this time around is the end of life support for Windows 10. Many users, unhappy with what Microsoft is doing to with Windows 11, are starting to…

Removal of googleservices and keystroke logger from MAC Book, iPad & iPhone
This is a very smart bug. Knows your after it when you delete cookies, history & data from browser.

If I reset devices, what do I get rid of before updating iCloud, don’t want to bring it back with…

BitDefender erroneously blocking a site as 'malicious' though it's not?
I run my own password manager (via Bitwarden hosted on a server I control in the cloud) but BitDefender as of this morning began to flag my password manager as 'malicious' - it gave no reason and no information about why it just started flagging.

Scheduled scans don't run (still)
If I had a pound for every time a scheduled scan in Bitdefender actually ran, I'd have £3. What is so difficult about this? Time and time again I'm told to reinstall, uninstall, recreate, delete and then .... nothing. I don't understand why such a critical feature of an AV application keeps being broken. I think I've been…

I just can not believe BD has done this to me AGAIN! Throttlestop
Throttlestop is the most useful utility in my entire laptop application arsenal, and I would lose any other app before I lost that. I also know for a fact it's safe. BD kept blocking the app from running and saying it was a PUP. So I kept restoring it but that didn't help. THEN I added it as an ALL exception, that means…

Legitimate programs flagged as Trojan.Generic.1252712
I just started up my PC, and Bitdefender began disinfecting it. I panicked and checked my quarantine folder—many seemingly legitimate apps were flagged as Trojan.Generic.1252712.

There's a close box in the upper right corner, but it does not close the popup. I currently use Bitdefender's free edition with Windows 11. I'm inclined to accept the offer if it's…
