Launch Bitdefender Hidden

Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac launches on startup with the interface for a little while visible. Then the interface hides.

Why is this interface not only visible if you need it, this looks choppy. I think also unnecessarily.

Please improve this software.

Hello,

We suggest trying first the steps suggested here:

Let us know if everything is back to normal afterwards.

Hello. I realize this is over a year old, but I am having the same issue and Tech Support, your "solution" is not valid. I want BD to run at start but I don't want to be greeted with the main window or the dock icon.

Hi, I realise the last post on this thread is a few months old, but I was having a similar problem with Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac.

In the end, it turned out that if I had Microsoft OneDrive set to automatically run at login, then Bitdefender Antivirus' Main Window would also show on start-up every 2-3 boot_s. I think the OneDrive app interferes with Bitdefender login.

I fixed this, by creating a simple bash ****** that delayed OneDrive login by 15 seconds:


#!/bin/bash
#Wait for however long you want:
sleep 15
open -a /Applications/OneDrive.app

And then set this bash ****** to run at login by having a LaunchAgent execute it (more info here): http://stackoverflow.com/questions/22842016/launch-shell-******-on-login-in-mac-os-os-x

You also have to make sure that OneDrive is set not to "Open at log-in" in its preferences.

Hopefully either Bitdefender or Microsoft will fix this problem in the future.
