Users of BitDefender 2011,
I just noticed yesterday that BitDefender 2011 keeps intrusive application logs that are a violation of consumer privacy. While looking at the various logs BitDefender kept, I noticed that under Parental Controls, every application I had run on my computer had been logged into BitDefender. BitDefender also recorded how much time I had spent using each application.
Even though Parental Controls are Off, it still logs your applications, and there is NO option to turn this off.
My question is why is BitDefender interested in this information? Where's the option to turn off the logging, and why am I being logged when Parental Controls are off?
I find this unacceptable. I hope BitDefender will release an update that allows us to disable this intrusive feature. A lot of people including myself will be angry when they notice just how much of their activities on their computer are being logged. Granted, you can manually clear the logs, but I don't want them being kept to begin with.
To view this information yourself, bring up BitDefender, click on the Parental Controls tab, Click on View Logs, and click on the Application Log tab, and you will see an entry of everything you've done on your machine.
I've attached screenshots of what my list looked like to demonstrate how this feature is unacceptable.
