2 Bitdefender Redline Services? Legitimate?
What is the purpose for the Bitdefender RedLine Service versus Bitdefender Agent RedLine Service? Should these apps be running during Startup? Why? Thank you.

Services are set on automatic start and run on Windows startup, sometimes after the kernel starts.
Redline services (the first is for the product, the Agent one is for the Bitdefender Agent) are intended to be a last line of product update/maintenance, when an inconsistent product state has been detected. It is to mention that this is very rarely needed, but still it might happen to reach a state from where an update or a maintenance become very hard to do, so the Redline is intended to perform, for example, a complete reinstall if necessary (think, for example, an unfortunate condition manifesting itself in a loop and preventing shield service from starting). If no such actions are needed, the service just listen for such a condition to be signaled if necessary and consumes 0% CPU time. It is there just as an extra safety mechanism.

Hello.
I think that @camarie and/or @Alexandru_BD (they both work for Bitdefender), can answer your question.
