App Blocking is Crazy! How to disable for Program Installation
So I recently jumped ship from Kaspersky due to press reports and favourable reviews for BD.
Now whenever I install a new program BD wants to block the app from accessing whatever it needs to and by the time I navigate to the correct part of BD to allow the access the program installation says it has finished. Whether it has actually installed correctly is hard to work out given the error messages displayed.
How do I disable or manage this annoying feature in BD? Cannot recall ever having this in Kaspersky.
Thanks

It sounds like your installation programs are running afoul of the Advanced Threat Defense and Safe Files components. Click on "View Features" and then disable those two components before trying to install the new program(s). After your program installs, re-enable these components and turn Auto-Pilot back on. If the new program is going to write to files in the "protected" folders, you should add its executable to the Safe Files whitelist as a trusted app.
I hope this helps. Have a great day.
