Does the Home Free version have auto-update? if yes how can I disable it?
The bitdefender free has built in auto update option which is not at all possible to disable. Be it product update or malware signature updates, you cannot disable any update settings in the free version. Currently bitdefender free malware signature database updates every one hour automatically, similar to its premium version.
