Bitdefender detects multiple threats when I go to Twitch. What's going on?
Hello, I've been using Bitdefender for a while and I've never had a problem with watching on Twitch (the website). But now, I clicked on the website and suddenly Bitdefender alerted me of multiple threats. I panicked and closed the page and BD took care of the threats. I removed the notifications so I don't know the name…

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…

Think or Swim Updates
Couldn't update Think or Swim this morning. Screen was stuck on installing updates.

But the Windows firewall (run on Win 11 by default if no…

Antispam keeps turning itself back on after reboot
I see there is a discussion about this that was closed without resolution because the author abandoned Bitdefender. I would like to reopen this issue. This is still happening, at least for me, in Windows 11, MS Office 16 Outlook. This has been driving me nuts for some time. After every reboot, the Antispam on/off slider…

Report Phishing Attempt
I find it discouraging that it is so difficult to report an email phishing attempt to the Bitdefender people. Maybe I'm missing it, but I can't find how to submit it. There should be a way to simply "forward" the email!

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…

ExplorerPatcher detected as false positive
I have been using ExplorerPatcher (on github, apparently I have to "be around longer" to post a link, despite working in IT for over about 30 years now) on Windows11 for over a year.

Checking other email clients OTHER than ONLY Gmail and Outlook
Ok, I don't sign up for discussions often. I just don't - but I feel I need to do so here. I have searched and know this topic has been discussed at various points in time and then… goes away. So I am reviving it - and maybe adding a twist. All cards on the table, I do like most things about Bitdefender. Has it prevented…

bduserhost.exe is False Positive
So I was browsing process explorer and noticed that bduserhost.exe was flagged by the virustotal function. It was flagged only 1 time by a small time AV on virustotal. I'm pretty sure this is a false positive. I would also like to point out this virustotal flag appeared after I updated Bitdefender Total Security to build…

I reported to you recently with a problem that the firewall was disabling alert mode on its own and releasing programs that were blocked into the network. I think I have found the culprit. It's the “PROFILE” option - once that suggests to me at home that I have an office network although it is not. It still makes a…
