Excluding Folders Does Not Work

rassilon

I'm getting tired of Bitdefender reporting numerous Steam games as viruses, preventing me from downloading or installing them. I've added the offending folders (d:\games\steam\steamapps\common and d:\games\steam\steamapps\downloading) to Bitdefender Exclusions, but it does nothing!

Is there some trick to getting Bitdefender to do what I tell it to?

Hello Rassilon,

You can also add the process itself not just the folders, you can also add the Steam folder and processes to avoid such situations.

If you find that a false positive you can always submit a sample to the link bellow to have detection removed for it.
