How to manually shred or quarantine cleancaptcha.top adware file?
I was recently dumb enough to fall for a popup virus on Microsoft Edge. I was redirected to a website called cleancaptcha.top & there was a popup asking me to click "allow" access to "confirm you're not a robot." Then I started getting a bunch of fake antivirus notifications for McAfee & Norton, which I don't even have.…

Bitdefender not picking up trojan?
I'm getting a recurrent icon in my Macbook Air dock for "Undercover Registration" -- this is spoofing the old Undercover/Orbicule software I used to have installed but that went out of business years ago. Now this icon has come up -- looks identical to the old Undercover icon -- and it leads to a page to enter cc…

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

How do certain administration tools get its "suspicious" mark?
This might sound like a very broad question but I'll explain why. I was shown a video that BitDefender was apparently white-listing a commonly used tool for reverse shell, netcat, in video below.

Show reputation rating about a file & submit False Positive directly in the product
I am not sure if Bitdefender has reputation cloud or something like that. Based on my experience with ESET, Kaspersky and Norton, I find the reputation quary feature (ESET's LiveGrid, Kaspersky's KSN and Norton's file insight) very useful when deciding whether or not to open a file. For example, if I want to open a file…

App I didn’t download is running 24/7
I got a notification on my IPhone SE 2020 that my screen time was up 68% from the week before, which was weird, and discovered an app that’s been running 24/7 since last Tuesday called “Ohio State”. This is really weird because I’m not an Ohio State fan - I didn’t (knowingly) install it and I don’t recognize it. It’s not…

Bitdefender researchers find Teabot malware dropping Android apps
Most believe the official Google Play Store is completely safe to download and vetted for security purposes before they become available to the public. That's true most of the time but not always.
