Bitdefender Firewall Broadcast - Icmp
BTS - Build 18.20.0.1429
My bitdefender is constantly sending out an ICMP Request declaring itself as a BitDefender Firewall. Why is it doing this? 
The system is not part of a managed solution. It stands alone on a workstation.
I cannot find in the forums where anyone has given a solution to this. It seems silly to broadcast out to the network what firewall and antivirus solution the workstation is using.
