    automatic vulnerability checks for out dated programs,programs that have updates like,adobe reader,skype,etc,etc,etc,,pass words that are weak ,Microsoft updates things like that,it checks your system for outdated programs and notifies you of them.

    It is, of course, recommended that you keep Windows up to date as well as any other programs patched and running the latest version, the vulnerability scan reminds you of this. If you have other ways of keeping up to date then fine, you can turn it off or turn off the portions you don't want from the GUI>Settings>Antivirus Settings>Vulnerability Tab.


    I have all mine enabled except for the "Weak Passwords" setting as BD kept telling me I had a weak Windows password. I know that Bitdefender - it is so weak there isn't one as I am the only one here!!!!!! So apart from that I am happy to have any reminders it wants to give me - I can choose to ignore them if I wish.
