Is Bitdefender a virus? / Uninstalling VPN not possible
Perhaps not a virus but certainly a product with dubious credentials. I've a Total Security subscription on the Mac and generally satisfied. It's average software but overly complex to do some simple tasks. However, I am sick and tired of deinstalling VPN only for it to reappear and then offer to subscribe. This is not…

So I'm writing this post since I recently created an account for online-banking. "Neat", I thought, having Bitdefender Safepay pop up, asking me to open the banking site on there.

Bitdefender Firewall Resetting NIC
I found an issue with Bitdefender's firewall and NIC resets. Over the past year now, I've had random disconnects when streaming video (Microsoft Teams, chat services, etc).

Limit the pop ups for the VPN connection
