BitDefender threat pop-up are annoying.. How to remove ?
nirsul
Mr.
Hi !
There is a website (a local TV stream) which tries to connect to certain links which BitDefender sees as harmful. My problem is that each time BD throws a pop-up to tell me about it - It throws me from the window I'm in - typing in word/whatsapp/etc. - Even when writing this now - it threw me out several times…
Is there a way to cancel them? I tried shutting alerts as suggested in YouTube videos but they keep showing.

Hello.
Open your Bitdefender program and go to:- Settings -> General and disable "Special offers" and "Recommendation notifications" (for the "Password Manager" notification)
- Protection -> Antivirus -> Settings -> Scan flash drives and select "Autoscan" or "Disabled", do not select "Ask every time" (for the "USB Immunizer Recommendation" notification)
- Protection -> Antivirus -> Settings -> Scan CD & DVD and select "Autoscan" or "Disabled", do not select "Ask every time" (for the "CD/DVD Recommendation" notification)
- Privacy -> Safepay -> Settings and disable "Safepay notifications" and "Automatically open Bitdefender Safepay"
- Privacy -> Video & Audio Protection -> Settings and disable "Notify when allowed applications connect to the webcam", "Notify when an application tries to access the microphone" and "Notify when browsers access the microphone"
- Utilities -> Profiles -> Settings and disable "Activate profiles automatically" (for the Profile notification)
After doing that, in the future no pop-up notifications will be displayed in the lower right corner of your screen.
REMEMBER: When a threat is detected, a pop-up notification will be displayed in the lower right corner of your screen and you can't disable those pop-up notifications.
Next, as an option to fully disable the Bitdefender alerts and pop-ups, open your Bitdefender program, go to Utilities -> Profiles -> Settings and enable/activate "Work Profile" or "Game Profile".
When "Work Profile" or "Game Profile" is enabled/activated, all Bitdefender alerts and pop-ups are disabled.
Finally, as for the Bitdefender VPN pop-ups, you can simply uninstall Bitdefender VPN from your device by following the steps provided here (just select "Bitdefender VPN"):

open the Bitdefender VPN program, go to Settings -> Notifications and disable "Allow notifications".
It is recommended that you also review the privacy preferences set in your Bitdefender Central account: - On any internet-connected device launch a web browser, visit

and sign in to your Bitdefender Central account. - Click on your username in the top right corner and select "Bitdefender Account" in the menu. This option will launch in a new browser tab.
