Hope I have the right section - This is regarding Youtube and being blocked

I do a lot of YouTube searching on economics, the Ukraine war, Russia, China, trade, energy etc. Since installing BitDefender, when I do a "search" for a subject, then click the tools icon, with the intent to specify "Time" parameters, it instantly opens a new tab with the heading "Untitled" with a blank browser tab. Also, if I decide to click LIKE on a story, it again opens a new tab that is also blank and labeled as "Untitled". I know you can tell BitDefender to allow content from a site, claiming you trust it, but I am not getting that popup.

Any HELP out there, Community?

Thanks Much,

Ham C
