Ads popping up

jsomers

I downloaded BDF to stop ads from popping up from even 2-step authentication, but it keeps happening. This program is not working to its optimal extent. I need a new one.

Are you talking about the web browser ads? If so, Bitdefender does offer AdBlocker and Privacy Blocker extension but that has limitations. You can install, Bitdefender Anti-Tracker by following the procedure in the stated link (https://www.bitdefender.com/consumer/support/answer/28481/)

Kindly check if the following steps help you:
