    Kindly perform below steps & see if this helps you in anyway.

    1. Kindly always first uninstall the product with add/ remove programs option in windows. Afterwards use the bitdefender uninstaller (https://www.bitdefender.com/site/view/uninstall_consumer_paid.html) to uninstall bitdefender from your PC. Note that uninstaller will only work for paid version and not for free version.

    2. Restart PC in safe mode (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/start-your-pc-in-safe-mode-in-windows-10-92c27cff-db89-8644-1ce4-b3e5e56fe234)

    3. As soon as desktop opens, assuming your windows drive is C, open below things in run (windows icon + R) command one by one :

If any file or folder under name of bitdefender is found, delete it. Continue searching the registry and deleting until the search will report no registry keys found.
