Rootkit

Options

I noticed that the rootkit scan option was removed from the custom scan list, why? Does that mean BD is no longer scanning for them?

    Hello :)


    That option was not removed, is still there.


    Please check the attached screenshot.


    Have a great weekend!

    Yes, that's what it used to look like! The difference I see is yours is Total security and mine is BDAV Plus 2012. So they downgraded me! Why? Here's what mine looks like now. (see attached)

    Hello :)


    We are talking about 2 different things.


    I made that screenshot from Scan now -> Custom Scan area, you made it from Settings -> Antivirus -> Shield -> On-access settings.


    The Real Time Protection from Bitdefender 2012 automatically scans for rootkits and all classes of malware.


    Let me know if you have other questions.


    Take care.

    Hello :)


    Welcome back.


    The option was never present in Bitdefender 2012 there, only in Custom Scan :D


    Let me know if you have other questions.


    Take care.
