What Happened to "BitDefender Awake"?


For a while, BD was very slow to do anything on my system after booting up. Then, after a while BitDefender Awake! popped up.


How daft, I thought.


Then it went away and I've not seen it since.


So, what was this, what was it doing and where has it gone?


Is BitDefender always sleeping now?


 


Cheers!

  • That popup was stealing window focus, I'm glad its gone. 


  • Me too, but what happened to it? Removed due to user complaints?


    I was curious as all the e-mails I get from support have it at the bottom.


     


  • Are you referring to the Security Widget?  It is still available and can be turned on/off in "Settings".


    I think the brief pop-up saying "Bitdefender Awake!" was discontinued in the 2017 product line because of complaints from gamers, in particular.


    Just my thoughts.  Have a great day.
