Hello,
After the latest v27 build, there are basically three separate installations: Bitdefender Security, the core that includes services and system processes; Bitdefender Security App - the seccenter, bdagent (application, user mode) and under Bitdefender Security App there is Safepay, which is currently part of the app, but later it will also arrive separately.
In regards to the duplicate icons, are these for bdagent.exe, or BDUserHost.exe?
If multiple users are logged in, bdagent may be shown in several copies, one per user. If it's BDUserHost.exe, these are user processes that usually send notifications, data, etc. about what happens in the context of a user - vulnerability, camera, etc. and these can be, in theory, multiple.

That is newer, from an update, build update from about 1-2 weeks ago or so (I took a screenshot of it on the 11th) as you also noticed that we have two different folders now in Program files, and as @Gjoksi pointed out, along with the differing, new individual processes running. Things got divided up.
@Alexandru_BD was some of this done for performance and stability reasons (especially the expanded processes)?

Hello again.
I believe that these changes have something to do with the latest build 27.
I'm sure that with build 26 installed, i had 2 (two) folders in Program files: "Bitdefender Security" and "Bitdefender VPN".
Now, with build 27 installed, i have plus 1 (one) folder called "Bitdefender Security App".
All we can do now is to wait @Alexandru_BD's reply.
Regards.
