Hello.
My specs:
Asus X551CA
Core i3-3217U 1.8GHz, Intel HD Graphics 4000, 4GB DDR3, 120GB SATA-III SSD
OS Windows 10 Pro 22H2 x64 With Latest Windows Updates Installed
OS Build 19045.4355
Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19056.1000.0
As you can see from the screenshot, i can run the program without any issues/warnings.
So, you should contact Bitdefender Consumer Support by chat, telephone or e-mail:

Select: Prevention & Threat Removal -> Windows -> Threat Removal, click on Contact Support in the black box and then click on Chat 24/7.

The blip seems to have been resolved. I downloaded a new version this morning, checked it & rebooted.
Now running without warnings.0
