Just for your information about IDS and AVC which are the causes of your issue
Intrusion Detection System (IDS) - It is the heuristic monitoring of the applications trying to access network services or the Internet. This works by giving a score to each action a software takes from the Firewall point of view and if that score passes a certain margin, the application is considered to be malware. The intrusion-detection system flags attempts to install rogue drivers, tamper with Windows, or change system settings. IDS flags keylogging attempts, Internet Explorer leaks and attempts to change desktop background or the IE home page. Protects against dll injections, installation of malware drivers. Protects Bitdefender files from being altered unauthorized 3rd party applications.
Active Virus Control (AVC) - provides a layer of protection against new threats for which signatures have not yet been released. It constantly monitors and analyses the behavior of the applications running on your computer and alerts you if an application has a suspicious behavior. In other words Active Virus Control continuously monitors the applications running on the computer, looking for malware-like actions. Each of these actions is scored and an overall score is computed for each process. When the overall score for a process reaches a given threshold, the process is considered to be harmful and it is blocked automatically.
BitDefender ® Active Virus Control is an innovative proactive detection technology which uses advanced heuristic methods to detect new potential threats in real time. It monitors each program running on your PC, as it executes, and notes malware-like actions. If enough such actions are detected, the program which performed them is declared harmful.
Unlike any other heuristic technology that only checks files when they are accessed or first started, Active Virus Control monitors everything applications do as long as they are active.
Monitoring is achieved through DLL injection at process startup - that is, each process is assigned a "watcher" which stays with it throughout the entire time the process is active, reporting certain activities to a server which in turn decides (based on how many potentially harmful activities and of what kinds a process has performed) which processes should be classified as malicious and stopped.
P.S: Use the product in User Mode and turn ON Paranoid Mode, and keep updated to some extent whats going on in your system. Also you need not to worry about at your present situation.0
