Bitdefender Free causing Windows Live Mail to crash


I know, Windows Live Mail is no longer supported by Microsoft. However, I've helped multiple people this year where WLM will crash within about a minute of being opened when Bitdefender protection is turned on, or Bitdefender won't let WLM close (WLM icon remains in system tray even when the GUI appears closed).


Since the settings in Bitdefender Free are so limited, I ended up uninstalling Bitdefender and going with another solution. Is this a known issue and is a fix being worked on?


Thank you.
