Bitdefender Requesting Access to 40+ Connections

Felipe-san

Using Little Snitch coupled with Bitdefender for Mac.  Running El Capitan 10.11.4 on iMac with Retina, using Firefox 55.0.3 (64-bit).  Bitdefender asks to connect to the following servers ROUTINELY (i.e., every day), via the listed ports and protocols.  Are these all legit?  If they are, isn't this extremely inefficient?  To say the least, it's annoying.

Thanks for your assistance in this annoying and perplexing matter!

Hello,

In order for Bitdefender to work properly, you must allow all Bitdefender connections in Little Snitch.
