Pop-up notifications

Nothing I've seen here so far addresses how to turn off the annoying pop-up notifications. I have everything turned off yet I still get pop-ups about new devices, blocked suspicious activity, etc. It's frustrating when I'm gaming because the pop-ups cause games to pause until I close the pop-up window. There is nothing under the general setting to stop this. Image attached.

    Hello.
    Open your Bitdefender program and go to:

    1. Settings -> General and disable "Special offers" and "Recommendation notifications" (for the "Password Manager" notification)
    2. Protection -> Antivirus -> Settings -> Scan flash drives and select "Autoscan" or "Disabled", do not select "Ask every time" (for the "USB Immunizer Recommendation" notification)
    3. Protection -> Antivirus -> Settings -> Scan CD & DVD and select "Autoscan" or "Disabled", do not select "Ask every time" (for the "CD/DVD Recommendation" notification)
    4. Protection -> Vulnerability -> Settings and disable "Wi-Fi Security Advisor"
    5. Privacy -> Safepay -> Settings and disable "Safepay notifications" and "Automatically open Bitdefender Safepay"
    6. 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"
    7. 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"):

      or
      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:
    8. On any internet-connected device launch a web browser, visit
      https://central.bitdefender.com
      and sign in to your Bitdefender Central account.
    9. 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.
    10. Access the "Data & Privacy" tab, then click on the "Privacy preferences" section.
    11. Uncheck both boxes to stop promotional messages:
    • Receive in product insights regarding threats, news, and offers.
    • Receive insights regarding threats, news, and offers via email.
      Regards.

    Thank you for the reply. Unfortunately my version doesn't seem to have most of the settings you describe above. I'm going to use BD until I find a better, less annoying. app.
