How do I stop Bitdefender pop ups?

@AndySA the notification is displayed a single time, after an upgrade is performed and it will disappear once you dismiss that banner.

@AndySA you cand disable unwanted notifications from the Settings tab in Bitdefender, as shown in the screenshot below:

Let us know if this helps.

Best regards.

Have found a workaround to make sure Windows blocks these sites before Bitdefender has a chance to, potentially stopping the pop-up problem that thousands of users have been reporting on here. Feel free to check out;

the critical notifications that serve the purpose of raising awarness of a potential threat and the ones that are related to the functionality of the antivirus and its features, most of the notifications can be customized, or profile configuration can also help for specific notifications.

Hello @ZFerrini,

Can you provide us with more details in regards to what type of notifications are you referring to? This way we can further advise on how to manage/disable them.

Not only do I get that popup as well, there's no way to close it! I disabled the special promotions and it keeps showing up. Please fix this.

This by far the most annoying software I have ever come across and I can't believe I paid for it. I tried to turn off the pop ups and did everything mentioned above but the pop up still continue. I am warning every one not to buy this product..

I am getting this popup every time I insert a DVD. It takes the focus away from what I'm doing (typing into a web page) so interrupts me. How can I stop these annoying popups? All notification settings are set to Off in the settings. If I can't disable this I'm going to uninstall this software.

Hello @Adz23,

Check the scan settings under the Antivirus tab. If the option to scan CD/DVD is set to ask every time, select Autoscan or Disabled, according to your preferences:

Normally, this should make the pop-up go away.

@Gjoksi It seems I was two minutes late. But I was making coffee 😅 AND i also got a screenshot, ha!

Hello @Bulldog,

Normally, if 'Recommendation notifications' is disabled, the antivirus should no longer display such recommendations, as they are tied to this setting. So, if you still get them, I would recommend asking our engineers to have a closer look and find out exactly what is happening there. Click on the link below and choose one of the available contact channels to get in touch with them:

In regard to notifications in general, most pop-ups can be turned off by using the available settings, however, security related notifications cannot be entirely disabled and this applies for most antivirus products.

Let me know if you require the full list of notification settings, so you can configure your preferences.

Hello @Dakutta,

As far as I know, BitLocker Drive Encryption is a data protection feature in Windows.

Do you get pop ups for this, or from Bitdefender? The recommendations from the dashboard cannot be removed or disabled completely. The option that you disabled ensures that you will not have pop ups on your computer stealing focus and reminding you of these features in Bitdefender, but they will continue to appear in the dashboard, along with a few others.

The recommendations are designed to make the users aware of the available security features and help them make the best out of their Bitdefender subscription. With this in mind, this advisor feature proved very useful, especially for users that are not tech savvy and could use this guidance.

Going forward, let us know EXACTLY what notification pops up, so we can advise further.

@Bulldog all Bitdefender notifications will be subjected to a comprehensive review in 2023. This means that, the behaviour, information displayed and throttle mechanism for all the pop ups will come under scrutiny and the development teams will analyze each and every pop-up shown by the product, so they can improve the notifications flow in Bitdefender.

We expect considerable improvements and more user control over what is being displayed and how, in the near future. These actions will be taken following the consistent feedback we received from our users, on various channels of communications.

This is part of a larger review that was planned several months ago and will extend over a longer period.
