Bd Toolbar Won't Stay Hidden In Thunderbird
Every time I open Thunderbird, the Bitdefender toolbar is active. I go into the View menu and hide it, but the next time I open Thunderbird it's back. This is not the case with any other toolbar in the program. How do I get this to actually stay hidden without uninstalling the program? Frankly, that's my next step; I really loathe the toolbar.
Thanks! :-)

From support, the only way to keep the toolbar hidden between sessions is to turn off antispam. I personally dislike when a program breaks the standards of other programs (all other toolbars have their visibility persist between sessions), so I will be uninstalling this program. :-(

Hi teleute,
Before (if you already haven't uninstalled BD) maybe check this out. It's a bit more than maybe Tech Support wanted to have you do? Check out the preceding and follow up posts as you wish, for maybe some other thoughts or insights: http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=157228
The key described above is found in Local-Machine/Software/Mozilla/Thunderbird/Extensions. It's an older thread, but maybe still applicable, if you wish to muck around the registry. Maybe back it up first, if desired.

Yeah, I was thinking about doing it in the reg. But then I got to the point where I was so irritated with how this was implemented I wondered what else was done in ways I wouldn't prefer, and decided I'd rather just not have the program on my machine than have to hack it. Also, I wonder if deleting things actually messes with the functionality, rather than just the appearance...
But I'll ponder a couple of days and see if I change my mind. :-) Thanks!0 -
You're welcome, teleute, and thank you for posting back and keeping track of your thread
I know what your saying, as far as some of what we consider basic functionality options and settings that we seemingly have no control over, or to easily change.
Yet, I will give credit to BD Techs here (Georgia, and in the past, Christian) as they do treat us as matur.e PC/software users in that they at times would even offer up Notepad fixes to correct problems temporarily (or in some cases has become a permanent solution). How many vendors forums would even consider and bring those options up? This is one of many things that helps me keep BD installed on at least 2 of my PCs.

This has now been "implemented" in the 2015 version by a Update slider:

Widget always on top, a self "permanent" fix:

Some things about BD may be a bit annoying, but the security of the product is stellar.
(for some reason today, the forum posting wants to add a period in the word, matur.e)
