How to uninstall Bitdefender SafePay

Kicho

Hi,

I realy hate when my paid applications decide to install to silently install unwanted bloatware, so is there an option to remove it?

I tried looking in Programs and features as well as in Bitdefenders Program Files Folder.

Thank you,

Kicho

Hi @Kicho

Safepay has been a feature of Bitdefender since 2013. It is not an add-on or bloatware that installs silently but is a cherished part of Bitdefender's security that many have appreciated over the years, including myself. It cannot be uninstalled.

If you no longer wish to see it on your app Dashboard, you can change that out from the Quick Actions panels and replace it with another.

In the settings, you can disable notifications from Safepay by going to the left-hand side, Privacy/Safepay settings/Settings and disable them all.

Safepay really does bring some great security features to your online banking as well as favorite shopping sites, especially when used with its built-in VPN. Just a thought as far as understanding what it brings to the table :)
