Temporary pause in security

Ingemar

When installing a new software, it´s sometimes necessary to temporarily block the protection.

Bitdefender does not seem to have a switch for that, like Avira dashboard and others for example.

How do you do it?

Hello.

You can temporarily disable (pause) all modules in Bitdefender, only one by one, and not all modules at once with a single click in the program or in the Bitdefender's icon in the system tray.

Also, there is no option to temporarily disable (pause) the modules in Bitdefender for a specific time, for example: 15 minutes, 30 minutes etc.

Hi again,

I tried to follow the article cited above. Restarted the PC from scratch also, now on Win 11. Still, when installing the new software, Bit Def was there again to "disinfect" and abort the installation. Did I miss an important OFF-switch?Or, is it Win 11 overreacting?

Eventually I could simply uninstall BitDef for this operation.

1. Do I get rid of all the small BF stuff, subpanels and "everything"?
2. Will it be difficult to reactivate my license afterwards?

This difficulty to temporarily pause BitDef protection makes it very complicated to use and less attractive.

Sincerely, Ingemar

Hello again.

It seems that the new software you are trying to install is flaged as malicious by your Bitdefender program and that is why the installation is blocked (aborted). Could be a false positive or could be a bug in the Bitdefender program. But, the answer to your question can be only given by the malware researchers at Bitdefender Labs.

So, do the following steps:

-- STEP 1 --

Uninstall the Bitdefender program using the Uninstall Tool:

It will completely remove the program.

Next, install the Bitdefender program on your device, by following these steps:

First, take screenshot(s) of the issue,

with short description of the issue.

Now, in reply to that automated reply, you can send the screenshot(s) you already took and the log files you already created.

Since you are all done, just wait for the support engineers to investigate your issue and find a solution to fix the issue.

Is there any plan to add a global "pause protection" feature to bitdefender? That has been standard fare on other similar apps I have used in the past. This is not an uncommon requirement for those who deal with networks, software development and testing.
