I cannot remove "Antivirus for mac" from my "full disk access" list

signefj

When I try to remove the "antivirus for mac" icon from the list of "full disk access" on my mac, it pops back up immediately, without me having put it back. Has anyone else tried this?

It started after I updated to Sonoma 14.1.2.

Hello @signefj,

With the launch of macOS Mojave (10.14), Apple has implemented a series of changes that by default block applications’ access to specific system folders and resources such as Mail, Messages, Safari, Time Machine backups. In order for Bitdefender to scan protected such locations, the user must manually allow full disk access to the Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac application files. Otherwise, security features such as the antivirus shield and system scan won’t work and Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac will display a Grant Full Disk Access recommendation. To keep your Mac protected, allow Bitdefender full disk access. Here you will find the relevant instructions for Sonoma as well:

I hope the information is helpful.
