    Hello.

    🔄 An update has been released for Bitdefender Home solutions - 26.0.23.80 with the following notable changes:

    ✔️Fixed:Pop-up throttling mechanism for Encrypted Web Scan notifications. Before, a pop-up was triggered for every dangerous connection attempt, which can happen continuously. Current behavior: Log events for each incident, but limit the amount of pop-ups that get displayed. First detection will be displayed as a pop-up. We continue to block suspicious connections silently, in the background. You can review them in the Notifications area

    About the "Suspicious connection blocked" notification, check out this article:

    Next, open your Bitdefender program and go to:

    1. Settings -> General and disable "Special offers" and "Recommendation notifications"

    2. Protection -> Antivirus -> Settings -> Scan flash drives and select "Autoscan" or "Disabled", do not select "Ask every time" (for the "USB Immunizer Recommendation" notification)

    3. Privacy -> Safepay -> Settings and disable "Safepay notifications"

    4. Privacy -> Video & Audio Protection -> Settings and disable "Notify when allowed applications connect to the webcam", "Notify when an application tries to access the microphone" and "Notify when browsers access the microphone"

    5. Utilities -> Profiles -> Settings and disable "Activate profiles automatically" (for the Profile notification)

    After doing that, in the future no pop-up notifications will be displayed in the lower right corner of your screen.

    REMEMBER: When a threat is detected, a pop-up notification will be displayed in the lower right corner of your screen and you can't disable those pop-up notifications.

    Next, as an option to fully disable the Bitdefender alerts and pop-ups, open your Bitdefender program, go to Utilities -> Profiles -> Settings and enable/activate "Work Profile" or "Game Profile".

    When "Work Profile" or "Game Profile" is enabled/activated, all Bitdefender alerts and pop-ups are disabled.

    Finally, as for the Bitdefender VPN pop-ups, you can simply uninstall Bitdefender VPN from your device by following the steps provided here (just select "Bitdefender VPN"):

    or

    open the Bitdefender VPN program, go to Settings -> Notifications and disable "Allow notifications".

    Regards.

    Sorry to hear that.

    There is nothing else that can be done, except to wait for a fix to be released.

    This is the last option: Open your Bitdefender program and go to Protection -> Online Threat Prevention -> Settings and disable "Encrypted web scan". Just to let you know that this is not recommended.

    Kind regards.

  • Fabulous info! Thanks for listing the steps for all/most of the notification options.
