BD Mobile Security: Bitdefender Central Reports False Alerts. Any Help?
Hello everyone :) This is my first post ever on this forum in general so go easy on me ^-^ I only have one remark to make and one more specific question / issue for you. To get the former out of the way: The frequent and repetitive notification on my phone originating from Bitdefender Security promoting the Bitdefender VPN…
Vulnerability Scan reccurring Threat Notice
When I open my computer every morning, I get the same threat notification. When I initiate the update that Bitdefender recommends, I am notified that the threat has been fixed. However, on my next login and launch of the computer, the exact same threat notification is there with the same update recommendation. This goes on…

Bitdefender claims my laptop has a virus, now acts like it never existed with no notification.
I am a user of Bitdefender Security through a paid family plan. I created this account due to not having the login info for the account. On Friday, my Bitdefender program repeatedly notified me of a virus it detected, and I think it said it was related to MS teams. I restarted my computer, which took longer than usual, and…
How do I find out if the threat is real. (Virus, malware ?)
I've been using a software program for a few months now, it's a newer program for analyzing poker players. For updates I would be notified, then go to the site and upload the update, no problems. They have changed the way they update, now when you open the program, it automatically updates the program from the web site.…

Why is bitdefender considering this site as dangerous?

Hi Bitdefender Community. When I attempt to download installer for MEGA desktop from mega.io, bitdefender blocked the download: As I downloaded from the official MEGA website, I'm wondering if this is a false positive detection or not. Thanks in advance.

False Positive: Suspicious web page detected
Hello, Bitdefender Antivirus Pro has flagged my website (suadauxanh.com) for suspicious activity and recommends users not to proceed. After submitting a false positive report, their team responded by claiming that the site is compromised and being used for spamming — an assessment I strongly disagree with. I’ve used…

Suspicious connection blocked. Adware or False Positive?
Hello and good day. Booted up Microsoft Edge earlier and was greeted with this notification from bitdefender. Instantly went through the procedure of resetting Microsoft Edge to its default values and checked my extension and apps. Nothing suspsious. Ran a System Scan via Bitdefender. System Scan completed, no infected…
Cumbersome interface to add exceptions from scanning or pause protection
BACKGROUND I have a handful of old files that are detected as having viruses. Some I am fairly sure do not contain threats (and I have just submitted a report to BD of apparent false positives). The others are old files (from the 1990s) that were once genuine threats, but are no longer practical threats any more on my…
The "false" Malware
I created an a archive with the extension .BAT and bitefender has removed the archive .BAT
bitdefender trojan.generickd.74980773 - false positive?
I got this trojan on my rather new macbook. Is this a false positive? I got it in the path /Users/cedric/library/mail (see added picture). I thought macbooks usually are safe of trojans? Thanks a lot!!
Bitdefender suddenly started to flag all self extracting compressed file (*.exe) made via WinRAR
The following notification pop up earlier This never pop up before this and I've already made dozens and dozens of compressed self extracting *.exe file throughout the years.

ExplorerPatcher detected as false positive
I have been using ExplorerPatcher (on github, apparently I have to "be around longer" to post a link, despite working in IT for over about 30 years now) on Windows11 for over a year. Bitdefender will no longer allow me to download the Setup file, claiming (incorrectly) that it is infected with a "Generic Trojan". Despite…
bduserhost.exe is False Positive
So I was browsing process explorer and noticed that bduserhost.exe was flagged by the virustotal function. It was flagged only 1 time by a small time AV on virustotal. I'm pretty sure this is a false positive. I would also like to point out this virustotal flag appeared after I updated Bitdefender Total Security to build…
Googleadservices blocked
Every time I tap on a google ad that I choose to look up, my Android phone blocks the site. There is no option to continue. The only way I can stop this is to uninstall bitdefender. That's ridiculous. I can't find anywhere in the app to set a site as safe or whitelist.
I Can't Access a Website. How Do I Make Bitdefender Stop Blocking Access?
I am trying to access a website (myseoauditor.com). When I try using the Brave browser, Bitdefender blocks the access, and I get this error: ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED When I try using a different browser, it works. Why is this happening? Also, I've added the site to my online threat protection exceptions, but it still doesn't…
Bitdefender false positives rendering my work impossible
I am working with PHP files directly on FTP. Bitdefender detects a lot of PHP files as virus. However these files are written by me, short files, part of a framework, but mostly contain words and function regarding login, password reset, etc. I use Notepad++ to download and edit these files. When Bitdefender detects a…
Bitdefender nuked itself and my entire system for no reason
Hello all, Sorry, this is my first time posting on this forum, if I need to move my post elsewhere please state. I am quite puzzled as to what just occurred and would like some insight to help me better understand why and how this managed to happen, and also, how to fix the aftermath. So, what happened? I had just come…
VBS Scripts for automation are Blocked by Default
My VBS scripts for automation are blocked. This is a very poor type of detection. When does the advanced heuristics implementation kicks in? ALL malware scanners returned safe results: Can't post virustotal links because I'm not "around for a little while."
What's Wrong with This Page?
Can anybody tell me why Bitdefender won't trust the webpage of a local HVAC contractor who has a good reputation among his customers? The URL in question is https://www.roessheatingandair.com/
Getting Amtrak false positive pop-ups for email with "Dangerous URL"
On my Android using Gmail, I recently started getting a pop-up from Bitdefender Mobile Security that says "Dangerous link found." It was happening for valid Amtrak emails I was receiving after ticket purchases. The dangerous link reported is "20001800-usa-railamtrak.com." So the funny thing is—that is not a link in the…
Bitdefender False Positive?
