    It seems like you are talking about the cloud-based detection that your Bitdefender shows up after a full scan.

    Bitdefender does not store any files in the cloud. Let me explain how cloud-based detection works in very simple terms with the help of an example.


    Imagine you and your friends all have phones. Each phone has a tiny guard who checks for bad guys (malware). But the guards don't know all the bad guys in the world!

    So, they send reports to a big, smart castle in the sky (the cloud). In the castle, super-fast computers compare the reports to a giant book of bad guys and tricks (threat database).

    If a bad guy match is found, the castle sends instructions back to the guards, like "Stop that guy!" or "Lock him up!" This keeps everyone safe!

    The best part? The castle learns new bad guys all the time, and sends updates to all the guards, so nobody gets caught by the same trick twice.

    That's how cloud-based antimalware works! It's like a superhero team in the sky protecting all your devices.
