How can I turn off USB Immunizer Recommendation

Options

I use many USB flash drives for transferring new software versions to computers, running Utilities such as AOMEI Partition Assistant Technician Edition, data backup, etc. I do not want your USB Immunizer installed on any of these USB devices.

How can I turn off these USB Immunizer Recommendation popups so I don't have to cancel them 10 to 20 times a day.

Thanks for helping with this nuisance issue.

    Hello.

    Open the Bitdefender app, then go to Settings -> General and switch off "Recommendation notifications".

    Regards.

    Hello @dagar7,

    Try the following: go to Antivirus > Settings > disable Scan flash drives:

    Then go to Vulnerability > Settings > toggle off Autoplay, as this displays a notification whenever you insert an USB from which you are trying to run something:

    Let us know if this helps.

    Best regards.

    Turning off "Recommendation notifications" is not working. I am still getting the "USB Immunizer Recommendation" every time I insert a USB drive. I verified that the setting is still off as recommended by Gjoksi79. Any other ideas?

  • Ditto for me; Bitdefender 2023 has a very different menu too.

    Bitdefender Free version wants to scan my F:\ drive (thumb drive) daily. For some reason, it reverts "Scan flash drives: 'Disabled'" back to 'Autoscan' upon restart. I've set 'Manage exceptions' to ignore scanning my F:\ drive, and that remains as a setting, but doesn't prevent the scanning.

    I've also set 'Manage exceptions' for the F:\ drive under 'Advanced Threat Defense' but Bitdefender still wants to scan the drive. Am I missing a 'Save' button to activate, or is this feature only available under the paid version?
