could someone tell me if that consider as a problem/security issue ?

  • Hello.

    Nothing to worry, it is not a problem and/or security issue.

    The Alert mode feature in Firewall is enabled, which sends you alerts from applications that access the internet.

    Alert mode (former Paranoid Mode) – alerts are shown each time an app tries to connect to the internet. Select Allow or Block. When Alert mode is turned on, the Profiles feature is automatically switched off. Alert mode can be used simultaneously with Battery Mode.

    To turn off Alert Mode, do the steps below:

    - open Bitdefender and click on Protection from the side-menu

    - click on Settings under the Firewall column

    - click on the Settings tab in the new UI that will show up

    - disable/switch off Alert mode

    Regards.

  • ok, but it sais chrome has changed. doesnt that mean anything ?

  • Hi,

    As far as I can guess, it might as well be an update for Chrome..

    I would personally disable the Alert Mode altogether, if not required. Otherwise, you will receive alerts everytime an application is accessing the internet and this can become tiring at some point, at least for me. Other users are making good use of this feature, so it really depends on your preferences/requirements.
