Allowing Or Blocking Applications
Comments
-
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.

Maybe those are really legit or safe application. What applications have you tried to run so far?

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.0 -
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.0
