Bitdefender Firewall is not detecting game processes preventing them from working and also forgets settings. The Firewall also allows applications without request although Paranoid Mode is set. There are a number of other settings that do not retain their settings. A number of programs are also having their connections dropped or blocked without notice. This has nothing to do with the network connection, only certain applications running via the firewall as I have monitored the situation using a variety of network and process tools. It seems I have no choice but to downgrade to 2015 version until the current problem is fixed and I consider other options.
Bitdefender 2015 was a good program and I deeply regret installing this latest 2016 version while it is still in a Beta state. It gives me small confidence that it will indeed prevent intrusion by unwanted guests if it allows program components without my consent. The Firewall needs a major overhaul and much better component control. I would like to block all Windows components without my approval as security certificates can be abused and attached to illegitimate files with a little know-how and it's not hard to fake a legitimate looking application component. Unfortunately I may have to start looking for a replacement product as I can not in good faith recommend your latest product to my customers. I will be seeking a full refund, to my deep regret I might add, if this problem is not resolved promptly.
Thank you for providing a good product over the previous years.
