Any way to ignore detections?

Edward_D

Hi,

Bitdefender found 50 detections, but it is just riskware and they are apps I do not want to uninstall/delete. Is there any way to ignore the detections that were found so I don't have to uninstall/delete my apps?

My bad @Alexandru_BD 😅

I think bms might have detected some malware or pup/pua on the user device.

But the user wants to keep the app installed on his device and wants that bms should not scan those app via real time protection or a manual scan. I guess currently there is no option to exclude an app from scanning in bms. This can be a feature suggestion that you can provide to the product developers.

Check if below steps help:

1) Temporarily disable Bitdefender Protection: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/28557/

2) Set exclusion in Bitdefender Antivirus: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/13427/

3) Set exclusion in Bitdefender Advanced Threat Defense: https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/2393/

4) Re-enable real time protection in Bitdefender.

@Flexx I think they are using Mobile Security..

Can you clarify @Edward_D?

Yes, the BMS scans, because this is what it does 😃

Worth taking the "riskware"? Probably not. There are many apps out there that do other things outside of the stated purpose, or mimick the real ones.

Thanks for the replies! I will contact Bitdefender and see if they can add app/infection ignore as a feature. Until then, I will remove as many of those detections that I am comfortable with. Thanks again!
