Can I stop VPN recommendations?

I too wish the same

This is useful information for the VPN Bitdefender product however it doesn't address my original comment where I'm asking on the Android mobile bit defender application how to stop the ad wanting me to purchase VPN Bitdefender product.

I don't know if I mentioned or did not and I apologize if I did not. I am Trialing/testing the Bitdefender Android mobile application. On the first screen are the advertisements or persistence for me to install the three additional defender applications items one of which is the VPN application scrolling to the right of that ad is the one to install the password manager scrolling again to the right is the ad to install Central that defender. I as a consumer Do not appreciate ads on a purchase product since I'm reporting multiple bugs with this Android app to Bitdefender which they have acknowledged some of these bugs which supposedly they have been in the working process to resolve. I'm not going to purchase a defective product until those anomalies I have reported are fixed. Who in their right mind would purchase a defective product? Perhaps when I do finally purchase the Android mobile app after the defects have been corrected then maybe those ads will stop? I have tried other applications on my Android phone with no persistent to install additional products.

Bitdefender as a product seems to be worthy however the constant push for me to install other applications leaves a sour taste in my mouth while trialing a defective product. My posts to support on my defects seem to be going slow for getting resolution.

I did research for weeks before selecting this one product with the hopes to protect my wife's Android phone more than for me as she constantly is getting clickbait items which in essence want to install malware on her phone.

Summary- Complicated electronic world at all levels for all devices with many security holes with no method to easily resolve each hole makes it quite a challenge and frustrating for anyone.

Screen image above of one of the reported defects where I have to continuously activate this function.

Below is one of the sample message from my wife's phone. No the McAfee product is not installed on her phone. When I test this URL on my phone with Bitdefender I do not find a warning. However when I add the additional ublock extension to Firefox it warns me. So should I not purchase the Bitdefender Android application when I can get the ublock extension for free? I realized Bitdefender performs much more than Ublock.

My point is what does Bitdefender Android application do and not do?

Thank you @agozob.

@henryvoll did you check the phone settings menu? 🙂

Hi @Jimbo_Check,

You got a recommendation to use the VPN that's already included in your Mobile Security and also to get the free Central app to manage security on the go. There is no conspiracy for your wallet, it's just common sense to push that information to the user since it's useful to know how to make the best out of your security solution. There are users who appreciate this kind of information. Yes, the Password Manager may not be free and what you see there is an invite to try it out, but that should disappear if you click on "learn more".

Regards,

Alex

Interesting discovery.

Each time I power off and power on my phone and waiting 10 to 20 minutes to check Bitdefender.

Opening of the main screen indicated I needed to activate App Anomaly.

Today I decided to open Bitdefender and NOT touch the button to activate App Anomaly but rather touch only second icon "malware scan" at bottom and not touching any of the functions or features and then go back to the main screen. Where there was no need to activate App Anomaly it was removed magically.

I perform this test three times perhaps others can chime in with their test results doing the same procedures.

Play store shows that my upgrade to the current version occurred on February the 28th. See screen image.
