Safepay opens automatically without authorisation

When I go to a website with a banking link, Safepay automatically opens - yes, fully opens - without asking permission. On Safepay settings, I have switched off "Safepay notifications".

This has been a longstanding problem not cured by rebooting. The only thing that I can think to try is to uninstall and re-install Bitdefender, which I would prefer not to do. Is there a better fix?

  • Hello @Jonathan_C007 and welcome to the Community!

    Bookmarked sites will still automatically open Safepay. If you wish to prevent them from auto-launching Safepay, toggle Automatically open Bitdefender Safepay to the off position:

    Let us know if this helps.

    Best regards.

  • Hi I'm not sure if I'm following proper procedures here or if I should start a new thread, but I'm having the same or similar problem. I have a Safepay dialogue box that will not close.


    It appeared a week or so ago and will not to away. I have tried all the recommended actions I could find on line including the one above and nothing works. My laptop in running windows 10. Getting very frustrated. Can anyone help? Thank you.
