The installation of Bitdefender on Windows 10 wasn't exactly a smooth one. I had to turn off BD Firewall and use Windows firewall in order to get connected to the internet and wait until a message popped up to ask to install the latest version of Bitdefender.
Now that it it installed and updated it seems to be working ok. However, each time I boot up Windows 10 I get a notification popping up saying that there is no firewall or antivirus running. It gives me the option of using Windows Firewall and Windows Defender, or use Bitdefender's security. I then select to turn on the Bitdefender Firewall and Antivirus and ask it to remember my answer. I still get this problem each time I boot up Windows 10. Is there a way to make sure it is permanently switched on? It's a bit disconcerting to see these messages upon startup, making me think that the system isn't protected, even though Bitdefender appears to be running.
The other thing I thought of is that it takes Bitdefender time to startup and these notifications are showing before Bitdefender is fully running it's security? I'm sure I've seen the notifcations pop up after it says Bitdefender is 'awake'.
