bitdefender how do i stop the dashboard appearing at startup on a mac

Hello.

Same here.

After every start-up I get both the Bitdefender dashboard and Scamio open automatically. It's so unnecessary and did not happen with the previous version.

I even tried a complete reset of my Mac Studio (M2 Ultra) and installed Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac (version 10.2.2.2).

At startup, Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac does need to open in the background but shouldn't open both itself and Scamio.

Hello,

The product development teams are aware of this bug that surfaced after the latest OS update. The Antivirus for Mac UI opens in front at login in certain situations, and the engineers are working to correct this behavior.

Thanks for reporting the issue in the community.

Hello.

Thank you for your reply.

Just to add that this issue still occurs with the latest Sequoia update 15.4

Although I have seen the Antivirus for Mac (10.2.2.2) dashboard screen automatically appear following a restart of my iMac (M1) previously, this issue is no longer occurring after upgrading to macOS 15.4.

Just updated 3 macs to 15.4 and it haan't solved the problem. Rebooted twice just to make sure.

So, just wanted to add some info that might help those who are looking into this.

I have the same problem with the Bitedefender Dashboard automatically opening on my MacBook Pro (with Silicon chip) but not on my older Intel macs.

Those older intel macs behave as I would expect them to and not open the dashboard at login.

The Silicon Mac affected was running Sequoia 15.2.

Updating it to Sequoia 15.4 then seemed to fix this for me on my Silicon Mac.
