Adware.JS.Agent.FM - trojan, malware, ransomware - any experiences?
Hi! This morning I did a little research and clicked on a link in Google Web. Immediately I was warned by Bitdefender that this website is infected/malicious. I didn't continue, let Bitdefender take over and closed my browser. Since I adjusted the settings in a way that my browser history is being deleted after I closed…

False Positive From Running Powershell Commands Batch File At Command Prompt. Any Suggestions?
FALSE POSITIVE I got a false positive today from running Powershell commands through a batch file at the command prompt in Windows 8.1 x64 with BIS 26.0.32.116. In short, the Skript I run looks for differences between files at two user-specified paths (vaguely like the command "fc", but batched and using analogous…

Req visually obvious notification for required restart
I love the set-it-and-forget-it use of BD. I rarely open the dashboard. However, when a restart is required to finish an update, I will always miss it because I go weeks without restarting my PC. Could we have an obvious visual notification in the tray, please? A pop up, mouse-over balloon, flashing icon or change of color…

Had it installed for 2 days and I'm already uninstalling.
This antivirus is so annoying. Let's go through the issues one by one: I start a scan and I go to play a game. Notifications keep unfocusing my game and ruining my experience. I STOP the scan and close the window. What do I get? MORE NOTIFICATIONS. I don't care that you found some virus, let me enjoy my game for god's…

Add custom sound to notifications
It would be very useful to be able to add a custom sound for Bitdefender alerts (Like Avast lets you do), notification popups are pretty good at their job don't get me wrong, but in some cases having an alarm that catches the attention of the user would be good, especially if the user can choose a custom sound file.

"Infected web page detected" on just about every page?
Since a few days, I get the BD alert "Infected web page detected" on just about every web page that I visit, even on Google Search. This is what BD further says about it: -------------------------------------------------------- Feature: Online Threat Prevention We blocked this dangerous page for your protection:…

Too many notifications when an application attempts to connect to the Internet.
Hello everybody, I was using ESET Internet Security for over a decade, and a few months ago I changed to Bitdefender Total Security. I am quite pleased with it, except one major problem which annoys me often. I want to fully control the access of my applications to the Internet, so I have enabled the alert mode of the…

Why on earth doesn't BitDefender offer all notifications off?
(I couldn't find the comment function of the article, so I'll continue writing it.) I read the contents of all the discussions in the above article. However, no matter how hard I think about it, I don't see a good reason for not having the notification off feature. (Don't bring useless solutions such as changing profiles.)…

Advanced Anti Virus Settings Keep Changing / Notifications Vanished
Hello I'm using BD Build 26.0.34.162 on an older Windows 8.1 machine. 2 days ago, I got a warning that a new piece of software was trying to modify command lines in my OS with malicious instructions. Bit Defender (apparently) handled the threat appropriately. As soon as I finished, I uninstalled the offending software and…

Is There A Way To Set The Scam Alert That When It Detects A Dangerous Link To Block And Delete It?
Is there a way to set the Scam Alert that when it Detects a dangerous link it could either just Block and delete it automatically or ask if I wanted to save or delete the dangerous link? Instead of just the notification that tells me there a dangerous link!

Found Two Bugs In BD Total Security Build 26.0.34.145
Hello, So, I found two bugs in the latest version of Bitdefender Total Security 26.0. 34.145. Maybe this was present in previous versions too, I don't know. One of them is, blocking/detection notification is not shown sometimes. I was downloading a malicious torrent for the purpose of testing. One of the zip files was…

Brute Force Attept Blocked, But Where Originating?
I get numerous notifications each day that state: "Multiple failed login attempts were made by 80.66.88.208 using the protocol. We blocked the connection to stop the attacker from gaining access to your credentials and compromise your privacy." All good, but what is "the protocol"? I am trying to figure out where this is…

Disable notifications of blocked port scans from, or whitelist, specific sources
Background: On my network I have a Unifi UDM Pro which on regular intervals port scans all devices on the network to see if a port is open somewhere that shouldn't be. On computers protected by Bitdefender this causes a notification of blocked port scan to pop up. For computer-savvy persons this popup is just annoying and…

Cannot disable security recommendations
Dear BitDefender staff, It's important to me to be able to disable popup windows from the Total Security application in Windows 11. These do not appear to be normal Windows "notifications" and thus the OS does not have control over them. I have followed the settings menu, and according to this support article I should be…

Centralized notification settings
In GravityZone, I've just noticed that my techs have different notification settings that they've individually setup (screenshots below). Is there a reason for this? Only thing I can think of is in case different techs have different responsibilities? Is there a way to centrally manage all of this for all my techs?

Notifications in Bitdefender Central not all accurate
Using Bitdefender Central you can see (important) notifications about your devices. It shows you when a threat has been detected on one of your protected devices.

How to disable "suspicious connection blocked"
Hi folks. I recently updated my Bitdefender (free version) to it's newest version. I never had this issue with the previous version. Everytime I navigate in different sites it always pop up this notification "suspicious connection blocked" (most of the time each 30s or 1min), which is very very annoying. I had search for a…

Few noticed things about BD - Standard User, Surpress Notifications?
Hello! I Installed BD Total Security to my PC. I noticed that I couldn't modify all settings, because I'm using Standard Account at my Win 10. This was more disturbing. I can't hide it at all, no matter how much I wish or say magic words? Imo there should be option to hide that, because I don't need BD telling me 247 that…

Filtering notifications by type
In Bitdefender Total Security notifications can filter by importance (critical/warning/informational), but it would be useful if they could be filtered by category as well, such as, network, camera, scan results, malware detection etc. For example, if you want to see the history of computer scans, you must scroll through…

Is there any way to turn off nuisance notifications?
When you install an antivirus you expect it to work silently in the background. The BF geeks may like their work so much they think we should sit all day admiring it, but in the real world most people only want to hear from the antivirus when there is a problem. BUT - Bitdefender is littered with annoying notifications. I…

"Never see again" button on unwanted features
I personally have Total Security, but I imagine this translates to other plans too: Total Security has a lot of features - and BitDefender won't stop nagging about it. Even when turning off "Recommendation notifications", some people are still experiencing notifications asking to turn on features they will never use. Can…
