Bitdefender Total Security won't let me install the new AMD GPU driver.

Bitdefender Total Security won't let me install the 26.1.1 AMD GPU driver. Every time I start the installation, Bitdefender crashes the install with a cryptic message about malicious behaviour.

I downloaded the driver from the official website, my system is perfectly clean, no viruses or software issues.

Can you guys fix this? I don't know a better way to report this problem with your software.

I'm experiencing the same issue @Gjoksi. We're referring to Adrenalin version 26.1.1 you can download here:

https://drivers.amd.com/drivers/whql-amd-software-adrenalin-edition-26.1.1-win11-b.exe

To reproduce the issue:

Run the setup and wait a few seconds while the setup will scan your pc hardware for compatibility (no user input required)
Bitdefender will block the setup triggering a SuspiciousBehavior.6455202041F85229 for Advanced Threat Defense with signature

Sorry, I may have sounded a bit offensive. I think I understand why the program does what it does, although I might be wrong. I don't even blame Bitdefender to be honest, it's just another company trying to shove something down consumers throats. I'm guessing Bitdefender stopping the installer has something to do with the AI-bundle AMD trying to force us to install with the driver.

I assume the installer unpacks and it tries to download something, it requested internet-connection.

Nope… Bitdefender is blocking this:

It identifies an installer component done by AMD as a potential MALWARE. Imho it is a false positive they should investigate

Yeah, it's just that this didn't do that before. It's still pos

Issue has been fixed! Thanks to all the developers. I'm using signatures 11346942 and I can install adrenalin 26.1.1 with no issues at all!
