Bitdefender Free - Banking website popup

SethTP

In a future version can you please limit this popup to maybe once a day?

Using Firefox - It shows up when I visit my banking website, when I visit sites selling items, when i read emails.

Please please please once a day??

I know its free but I have disabled "Encrypted web scan" in the options for a temp fix now.

-Thank you.

I have just received news from the developers and they have confirmed the notification behavior and frequency is being adjusted with the latest release that has been deployed on thursday last week. In the upcoming days of this rollout, the update is expected to reach all machines.

I regret the inconvenience caused to you.

Best regards.

Hello,

can you give us the details of what happens with the new version? Now how often does this warning appear?

I hope it has been eliminated for subsequent access to banking sites, etc ..., after appearing for the first time after installing the AV.

Thanks! 🙂

Hello @Nunzio d'Abbruzzo,

For safety reasons, the pop-up will be displayed 4 times, but over a longer period of time, so the frequency was reduced. It will be displayed every 7 days.
