Hi yafatana.

If you regularly update Windows, and Bitdefender db. you should be fine.

What version of Bitdefender ts you have?

Also which OS? If Win 10 which build?

Ransomware protection will not ask for any password when accessing those files.

The ransomware protection is designed to protect important files from outside modifications, it may block your games from saving if they are not properly signed.
