I tried and looked everywhere to disable the annoying unwanted bitdefender popups, Disabling bitdefender works good but I sure did not know it was a issue, Anyone know what Virus software runs in the background I can install?

Hello.
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".
The Password Manager notification displayed by Bitdefender Total Security, Internet Security, and Antivirus Plus in August 2022 can be dismissed by clicking the "x" button. The "Manage your passwords with Bitdefender Password Manager" window will randomly reappear a couple of times before disappearing forever. Unlike promotional messages, this type of in-product communication cannot be stopped or prevented by toggling Special Offers to the off position in Bitdefender Settings.
