Chrome blocked more than Edge
Hello, I have found lots of posts about Bitdefender's blocking of suspicious connections, and think that I understand the hows and whys of it. What I haven't found is anything that addresses the blocking of Chrome over against Edge. I find that Chrome pages are blocked often on my laptop for suspicious content. Edge is…

Startup scan - Always
Since few weeks ago I observe that BD performs startup scan, always, no matter what I do. Early boot is turned off, scan network shares is off too. Yet it decides to trash my mechanical drive array of 40TB, EVERY single boot. Takes half an hour or so, with extensive seeking. How do I turn it off? Why isn't there an easy…

Bitdefender Stalled
I ran my Bitdefender on a full system scan. It got stuck on the Microsoft store app and stayed there for an hour or more. I shut it down, incomplete. This morning I downloaded the Bitdefender online scanner and it will not open! Any ideas?

Bitdefender scan ends prematurely
Hi, I have a lot of files to scan. I let the scan run for over 2 days. Unfortunately, it is hanging up on something and closing the scan with an error. The second time I ran it, the scan just closed. I am now scanning each directory separately to narrow down what file/directory is causing the trouble. It might be a corrupt…

Email Protection: Flag False-Positive "Dangerous" Emails
I have emails I get from a few subscription services (and in some case billing services) that I 100% know are safe emails. But Email Protection marks them as dangerous pretty much every time. Because of the volume of "dangerous" emails I'm getting which are not actually dangerous, I feel like the labels run the risk of…

Port Scan Exception: Can it be set to an IP on my home network only?
Problem: The security firewall router on my home network does security scans of devices to check for open ports. This triggers a Port Scan blocked in BitDefender, and that cuts off the Internet, because the address blocked is my DHCP server.

Change Request: Option for approved hosts-file
So, as many others I am looking for a way to keep my local changes to my hosts file, while retaining the option for protection via the "Scan host file"-option in the settings-section of "Vulnerability". The "Scan host file"-option is useless as it is today for advanced users, and also misleading in the description, as it…
