Open(unsecured) Wi-fi Detected

mrm2990

I recently installed Windows 7 Professional x86 on my Dell Inspiron E1505 laptop. When I installed BitDefender Internet Security 2010 and connected to my university's wi-fi network, the attached image keeps popping up every so often. As far as I can tell, I've done everything that it tells me to do on the pop up but I'm obviously missing something if it still shows up.

Can anyone tell me what to do?

Hello mrm2990,

Because the wireless network that you are connecting to does not have a password, BitDefender will detect it as being unsecured. For the moment, we would like you follow the steps bellow and let us know if the same message appears after that :

1. When you will connect to this network again, open BitDefender in Expert Mode, click on the Firewall module then click on the Network tab, and change its Trust Level to Trusted Local.

2. Click on the Settings tab after that and access the Advanced Settings button. Uncheck the option "Show Wi-Fi Notifications" then click on Ok.

Thank you.
