Can't Actually Do Anything

MrCuddles

I installed Bitdefender, but it looks like the free version is just crippleware.

There are no options. I can't even find the button to run a scan. There's just this little thing in the corner that pops up if I click on the bitdefender icon under the little arrow on my taskbar, and that same little thing pops up if I run the Bitdefender shortcut on my desktop.

I googled how to do stuff and all the answers say stuff like "click on the antivirus tab"...but there is no antivirus tabs. There are no tabs. There's just the little thing in the corner.

It shows "Virus Shield (on)", "auto scan (on)", and "My Bitdefender" (display). I did click on My Bitdefender, but there's nothing useful there. Just some services that are "temporarily unavailable", support, and "my offers".

So where are the options? Where are these different tabs I'm supposed to be able to use to actually DO stuff? Or is the free version just crippleware?

Hiya,

Are you asking about Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition? If so you are in the wrong forum, you should be here.

The free version works well but you have very limited options with it. If you need more you should be using one of the paid versions.
