Allowing Or Blocking Applications

Options

Having updated to internet security 2014 from 2013 I see no alerts regarding allowing or blocking applications. Bitdefender is allowing everything. I want to be able to choose what to allow and block so please tell me where this option has gone?

    Me to. How can I set the firewall to allow certain applications/programs so they won't be blocked by the firewall. <img class=" />

    FYI - Bitdefender IS 2014 User Manual: http://download.bitdefender.com/windows/de...serGuide_en.pdf


    19.5. Configuring alert intensity


    Bitdefender Internet Security was designed to be as unintrusive as possible. Under


    normal conditions, you do not have to make decisions on whether to allow or deny


    connections or actions attempted by the applications running on your system.


    Bitdefender makes all the decisions for you.


    If you want to be in complete control of the decision making, follow these steps:


    1. Open the Bitdefender window.


    2. Click the Settings button on the upper toolbar.


    3. In the Settings Overview window, select Firewall.


    4. In the Firewall Settings window, select the Settings tab.


    5. Turn on Paranoid Mode by clicking the corresponding switch.


    Note


    When Paranoid Mode is turned on, the Autopilot is automatically switched off.


    As long as Paranoid Mode is on, an alert will be displayed prompting you for action


    every time one of the following situations occurs:


    ● An application tries to connect to the Internet.


    ● An application tries to perform an action considered suspicious by the Intrusion


    Detection System or the Active Virus Control.


    The alert contains detailed information regarding the application and the detected


    behavior. You must select to Allow or Deny the action using the corresponding


    button.

  • I'm sorry I meant to say I was using bitdefender internet security 2015 and I can find no paranoid option as in previous versions.

    Paranoid Mode was removed from 2015 although it will be brought back.
