[escalated] Prompt For Action

Hello

I have forwarded your request to our Product Manger.

For this to be implement, we need to see what can be made for User Mode because for Auto Pilot, the product takes care of everything.

Thank you!

Add option "Prompt for Action" (disinfect, quarantine, delete, rename or block etc) in all Scan Tasks and Real Time Protection Settings.

Voted, me too like this.

It was conveniently implemented in the 2011 version, everyone can choose the interface that it has met the level of knowledge. Many users of your solution, switched to other foods just because you removed the advanced settings, I think you'll be able to resolve this issue in our favor. Yours.

Out of many great suggestions, this is one that I would like to see implemented first.

I too would like to have the choice fo action to take when suspect files are detected.

Thanks Christian, as I don't know why I hadn't voted yes on this one too

Good idea, ONT. There may also need to be maintained Bitdefender's option to take it's normal course of action for those who don't want to decide, i.e. "let Bitdefender do it for me": http://forum.bitdefender.com/index.php?s=&...st&p=143517

Good follow up thought, yes, to simplify it, without having to go through each one and apply the same action to each one...yet, whoever gets that many viruses of the same type..what are they doing, where are they going, what are they up to Yet it could also apply (as you probably meant) that Bitdefender would remember your course of action for that file/virus type, and apply the action that you had previously applied to any new virus found.

Silent Security is for only Novice or Average users. Design your Product more customized for Advanced Users as well.

I agree as some of us Advanced users would prefer personalized settings and features.

Add option "Prompt for Action" (disinfect, quarantine, delete, rename or block etc) in all Scan Tasks and Real Time Protection Settings.

You must be a former Kaspersky user, like me, as those features are available in their products!

Not a bad idea to have them in BD, as well!

I use Bitdefender for 7 years, and is personally acquainted with the developers from Romania. Product I like and do not let me down, if they do the advanced settings like in the 2011 version, it will be better than Kaspersky)

I have to agree as there are some features, suggested by the users in this Forum that would make Bitdefender just slightly better than

it already is, so hopefully, the Developers will implement them into future releases and/or updates!

I always liked Kaspersky and have been a faithful user for many, many years, but I won a BD license on a website and thought I would

give it a try.

So far, apart from a few missing important features, it has not let me down!

KIS and BD go head to head for the No. 1 and No.2 top positions and both offer excellent protection against just about anything that the

cyber criminals can throw at our systems.

Very impressive, for sure!

Yeah if the Advanced Settings, Notifications systems and detailed Logging are implemented again like in 2011 version and Kaspersky.

Well, if we keep making suggestions for improvements, hopefully the Developers will implement them and make BD much better,

although it's feature rich, as is!

The main thing is that the program protects our systems against all the nasties that are being deployed every day and it seems to

do that quite well, so far!

This is the best argument if someone is not willing to do. There is no question about the Bitdefender's top ranked Protection. But by your statement, then there is no need for Total Security (since it has some extra features e.g TuneUp, Antitheft, File Encryption etc that are not related to the malware protection), only Internet security or Antivirus can accomplish the protection job.

Consider the added features as a Bonus, from the folks at Bitdefender!

With Tune up, antitheft, File Encryption, Privacy, Safe Money, etc., there's no need to have third party apps. installed, as these do the trick quite nicely.

On another topic, I fail to understand why you have 4., I counted 4 Browsers installed on your system, whereas one does the job quite nicely!

I, personally only use Firefox and avoid IE, (Google) Chrome, Firefox knock offs, et al, as they have more security holes than the law allows!

However, to each their own!

I'd like to see advanced dialogs provided as well. I can't have software deleting and blocking without some way of controlling it. I nearly bought the 5-user Bitdefender package for my household, but read about the lack of dialogs in a review. Glad I read about the problem before I purchased.

For basic interface users, the lack of any dialog means that the user, having no knowledge of what they were protected from, will continue to try and do the same things. No learning takes place, so the user will continue to do the same dangerous things, blissfully unaware of the danger they were in. Not good.

Even the corporate AV I use at work provides notifications, though the admins have the response action locked. Personally, I won't use protection software that gives me no control over its actions. I used Sunbelt's Counterspy for years, until it started deleting and quarantining things without notice. Now I use Malwarebytes, which alerts me and gives me the opportunity to make the decision.

I think i can answere you.They taught and build the 2013 generation for non experienced users,office ones witch are too busy to pay atention to security isues.This is the reason that eaven in user mode threats are removed automaticaly.

Are you serious or kidding with us by giving such a funny justification?

This is my opinion.MAYBE IT IS WRONG BUT THIS IS WHAT I THINK.I'M SORY FOR MY EPRIMATION.

Hmmm..... so they are considering all the humans on earth as non-experienced/novice and office users.....thats amazing....

IN these days teenagers don't know more about computers.They want just to work.If you read the adventages/features of bitdefender 2013 there will appear AUTO PILOT MODE.

For advanced ones,wich are fewer ,there is user mode,wich can be improved like above,and i vote this.

For bitdefender is hard to please everyone,so it will try to improve bit for the majority of it's customers.

This is what i wanted to say.

Sure that andvanced users must be taken in consideration and are a lot around the world ,that's why this forum exists.

The main idea is that bitdefender tryes to improve it'self for nearly all categories of users,but they've concentrated on non-experienced users more.

If the product is too complicated novice class can't use it,just advanced ones,but if the product is simple and quiet everyone can use it with uncomfortance maybe for some advanced users.

That's why i love bitdefender:is good for everyone,and the powerful av engine.

Adding advanced user control for those who desire it would be relatively trivial for Bitdefender. No fancy improvements or major UI overhauls are needed. The current UI simply locks out any means for advanced control. The capability for advanced control is already a part of the software, but Bitdefender has not provided any way to get to it.

I find it odd that a company would choose to exclude a large market segment (competent, experienced IT users) by providing a one-size-fits-all solution, when all that's needed to increase their user base is the addition of an advanced control option. Product complexity would be no different than it already is, so all of the novices could continue to run in the current simplified mode: they wouldn't see any "confusing" options unless they chose to enable advanced control mode, requiring a conscious decision on their part.

I agree with you,but i think bitdfender won't spend money on a new user interface soon.

For advanced users is user mode but it's almost similar to autopilot mode .Difference in user mode you are notified when a threat is detected and removed and the paranoid mode .No prompt for action and other controls. Bitdefender is fully automated in both modes ,that's the trouble.

At last theycould add more freedom by creating a custom mode where you could select what Bitdfender should do.

Bitdfender mechanism are automatic ,to change bitdefender behaviour they have to modify the mechanism a bit.

...I have cloned this topic for Bitdefender 2014...

We hope you won't do the same with software...although I suspect it.

I am not an advanced user but I want an app which let ME choose for what is better for me.

P S : I want BD 2014 more silent. Perhaps with no GUI at all.

Hello werby3!

What do you mean by 'more silent'? Almost dead or dead? In this situation the interface should be a coffin. When the lid is on=novice; when the lid is off= advanced. Very interesting.

As the key word you said, ONT, Implemented...this is still #1 in my books to be implemented, then more B system tray right click options, including stopping all network traffic.

Still no advanced interface available? What is BD afraid of? Perhaps they're afraid that some basic user will turn the interface on by accident? Maybe BD can make the advanced interface available by agreeing to a list of warnings, but provide a "Return to Simple Interface" button on all dialogs.
