@Flexx - gee, I wonder where I've seen the link to HIBP before 😉 https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/comment/327595/#Comment_327595 I've actually been a donating user of https://haveibeenpwned.com since 2018 when Troy Hunt (the security expert / practical genius who created and runs HIBP) announced that it was…

@Alexandru_BD - I forgot to answer your question - "As to how they got to you in the first place, it's difficult to tell. Are you aware of any possible leaks where your email address might have been compromised?" My email password has never been compromised - I use a strong password generator (RoboForm, which I simply…

@Alexandru_BD and @Mike_BD - thank you both for your responses and efforts. And just for informational purposes - oddly enough VirusTotal.com as of right shows that Bitdefender still has the .STORE domain listed as clean (though we know it is phishing and BD blocks it now) , but they do show that the .PRO domain is marked…

When I started this thread, that site was marked as CLEAN on ALL Anti-Virus, as you can see from the screenshot I took before I started this thread. And I could visit the site with no problem. Then 20 minutes AFTER I started this thread, THEN Bitdefender started marking it as suspicious. I'd be interested to see / hear…

Bitdefender did NOT start detecting that page as Suspicious until AFTER I started this thread. Before I started this thread Bitdefender let me visit it with NO PROBLEM - my screenshots prove that.

@orangesevenhills - thank you for the vindication.

@Flexx - Phishing email, who'd have thunk? ;-) Yes indeed - I do know the difference between domain names. But I also know that this would not be the first time that BD had a partner/affiliate in their program that was rogue, and that I reported. Just like sometimes this forum gets hit with spam (used to and went neglected…

Since it seems pretty obvious that someone at Bitdefender saw my post and have tagged the site, here's proof that an hour ago Bitdefender had it marked as clean / safe. Attaching current screenshot since the results at https://www.virustotal.com/gui/home/url will probably change soon. Busted!

@Scott - you wouldn't find them in the search engines yet, since the domain was only registered in June and the site has only just recently gone online. Email is definitely not hacked - I used a strong password generator, and aside from that, nobody can get into my Gmail without me knowing, since I have 2FA enabled (they…

Fun fact - now suddenly https://antivirus-solutions.store gets a "suspicious" popup from BDTS when you visit it, when 30 minutes ago it was perfectly safe according to BDTS.

@Gjoksi - Thank you for chiming-in. @Cosmin P. - You are definitely onto something there! That (temporarily) works. The problem is, either Edge refuses to save the setting, or Bitdefender protection prevents the setting from being changed. If I do a Bing search for , say ... "old truck" ... I can see the option to disable…

Issue resolved - https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/comment/314870/#Comment_314870

@Mike_BD thank you very much for the update, and thanks to the team for addressing the issue quickly after seeing the user reports here, much appreciated!

@greybits - Good post. Although I can see why this notice is not part of the "Special offers" or "Recommendation notifications" that we can disable, and I DO want to be notified when a feature has been added / changed / removed (example: would have been great if we'd all received a notice before they removed the security…

@Alexandru_BD The new Password Manager popup notifications started for me just within recent weeks, and I keep dismissing them on all my systems (several Windows 10 and one Windows 11) , but the notice returns at least once per day. I reboot my all my systems at least once per day, sometimes two or three times. Perhaps…

This has become truly annoying over the past week or so. If you read these two posts from @Alexandru_BD , so far it seems that indeed this notification cannot be disabled like most of the other ones, and it seems BD devs aren't aware that the message keeps coming back every day even after we dismiss it, but apparently…

Hey guys, thanks for posting solutions that worked for you. Unfortunately neither disabling QUIC nor installing Traffic Light have ever worked for me, and still don't. I've tried on multiple PC's. I've tried every solution possibly found, including full uninstall / reinstall of Bitdefender Total Security. I originally…

I don't even understand why spammers are allow to remain on this forum along with their posts. I manage a couple forums myself and the very second I see someone post spam or a malicious link I delete their account (and posts) entirely. There's no "please don't do that" involved... waste of time. It's like asking a virus to…

Why does Bitdefender forum allow spam posts with malicious links like the two above? I only stopped by this thread searching for more elaborate documentation on the "Your device allows any user to change the settings for the security zones. This could lead to execution of dangerous code types from the Internet and websites…

Search Advisor still does not work with Google. (Works with Bing though - tested again today with latest versions of Edge, Chrome, and FireFox) I've tried installing/unsintalling TrafflicLight, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Bitdefender Total Security, went through all of the settings. Search Advisor simply does…

YES!! Finally, new version arrived on all PC's. Really good to see that "heartbeat" again, all you have to do to enable / disable it is right-click on the BD icon in the task bar. Great effort everyone! :)

Thanks for the confirmation @k70 (and also @VictorK ) My BDTS is still stuck on version 25.0.10.52 , even after uninstall / re-install from Central , on all PC's. Really would like it if BD could provide a link to get the new version.

@VictorK - you got lucky to get it early, but thanks for letting us all know that it really is coming to fruition. Lots of us are still waiting and checking updates every day in hopes to see it arrive.

@BogdanB_BD Thank you for the update, very welcome news! However, this weekend is end of month and I'm starting to wonder when I'll receive it. https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/comment/300270/#Comment_300270 Fingers crossed... 🤞

Completely uninstalled BDTS, rebooted, made sure all Windows Updates and Driver Updates are current, made sure all browsers (Edge, Chrome, FireFox) are updated to latest version, re-installed BDTS from Central. Still no widget. And on a side-note - Search Advisor does not work in any browser. No "TrafficLight" icons next…

I just read the great news - https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/comment/299258/#Comment_299258 BitDefender will be bringing the Security Widget back. Big sigh of relief for those of us who help a lot of friends/family/clients with their system management and for whom we've guided to install BD Total Security…

This is a major relief! Great news, thank you. This truly saves me from having to put a ton of extra effort into helping the 30+ other people (clients, family, friends) that I help manage systems for and have purchased BD TS for years at my recommendation, and saves the trouble of them asking me to help end their BD TS…

I think it might be helpful if more people would use the "vote" feature in my first post at this link - https://community.bitdefender.com/en/discussion/82831/please-bring-back-the-security-widget-in-total-security Especially since it's in the "Product features and Ideation" forum and BitDefender describes that section as:…
