Hi. 


Everytime I turn on my laptop I get the same message from BD: 


"New Device detected. Bitdefender detected a new device and will scan it in the background"


but it does't say what is the device ?  How can I found out ?


and after how can BD stop showing this message over and over ?


I use BD internet security 2018


thank you

    Hello,


     


    Are you using a USB Stick or a card reader ?


    Anything that gets automatically mounted ?

    thank you for your help Sorin G.  Bingo.  you got it right.  it was my permanently mounted sd card in the laptop #### .  


    now what I know its nothing really I can live with it,  but is there an easy way of telling BD not to show this message on every boot ?


    thanks

    I have the same problem with "new device" detected, and it is always the same programs.  I do have a microSD card in the laptop that gets mounted automatically.  What is the way of telling BDF not to show this message on every boot?  BTW I am using 2018 Total Security.


    Thanks

    Try Opening/closing Device Manager, then Opening showing hidden devices-  you can also turn off scanning USB devices in settings (then reboot)...
