WSC Communicator
I noticed "WSC Communicator" running a few weeks ago as part of BitDefender Antivirus Plus. See attached screenshot.

Bitdefender Mobile Security TrafficLight extension (iOS)

How to know if a scheduled scan ran successfully?
I looked first at the Windows 10 program interface, then through community questions. I'd like detailed log info, but right now I'd be okay with just knowing I've set up the scheduled scan effectively and that it's running. This doesn't seem to be a use case designed into the interface?

Maybe a dumb question, but I'm new to this app. Does Bitdefender run automatically in background on my Mac even if I close the app? I used Norton in the past and it always ran whenever the computer was turned on -- I didn't have to start it and/or keep it running.
