@jasonycw -I absolutely agree! Anyone "tech savvy" enough to set an option to disable these popups would also know enough to look in BitDefenders notification log if they are unable to access intended web sites. (If it is only unintended web sites that are blocked then nobody needs to be notified.) All these notification…

Alexandru_BD said: Please understand that although a silent feature has been frequently requested by users, it cannot be implemented due to security concerns and because the antivirus needs to communicate with the user in the event of a possible threat. BitDefender chooses to treat users like children that need their hands…

Regarding: "Keep in mind that, whenever a threat is detected, a pop-up notification will be displayed in the lower right corner of your screen and these notifications cannot be disabled in settings." This is exactly what we - at least some of us - are asking to disable. We don't need nanny BitDefender telling us what a…

I don't see how that answers my question. But my question has changed. Yesterday I deleted the suspect file and downloaded a new copy. Bitdefender did not block either action. It also did not prevent me from running the file (a PowerShell ******). But, again, BD blocked Macrium Reflect from taking a backup - a "Files and…

The way "to improve the way they are displayed" is to give us the option to not have them displayed at all! We don't need to be reminded that Bitdefender is doing what we've paid for it to do. If we really want to know, we can look in the Bitdefender GUI's Notification display. We don't need any popups ... whether they…

Disabling the "Encrypted web scan" feature is not at all the same as disabling the notifications. While there are probably some users that need to disable the feature because of false positive actions, most of us are complaining about the context-stealing notification pop-ups. If Bitdefender can provide the option to turn…

I recently visited what turned out to be a very sketchy web site that immediately tried to install an unwanted program over 60 times. Bitdefender blocked this activity but then proceeded present a notification popup for (I assume) each one of the occurrences. The popup would stay for 10-20 seconds; then the next once would…

I am going to chime in just because I believe the more people that complain about the notifications issue, the more likely Bitdefender will give the people what they want. That's the same reason I spoke up, but I suspect that if all of us complaining were to switch to another product Bitdefender would never notice, and if…

For the moment there is no option to disable all popups. If you mean there is no way in Bitdefender then that's obviously a problem with Bitdefender. If you mean there is no way in Windows, that is obviously not the case; most programs do not create notifications. Bitdefender should join their ranks and stop producing…

Ah, but the BitDefender nanny obviously knows better than we do. We need to be interrupted from our trivially unimportant work to be notified that BitDefender is busy protecting us. If we don't like the popups it just indicates how unappreciative and selfish we are. It's odd how other vendors just don't seem to care. I…

While I agree that this is likely not related to Bitdefender, I was thinking of its maybe slowing down processing enough that there might occasionally be a timeout. Note that my question specifically is directed at SMB processing. Does Bitdefender do any checking in SMB connection setup and, if so, is there any way to…

I'm not ready to open a problem ticket with support yest. I actually doubt this is a Bitdefender problem. I just want to know if this is an avenue worth following. The fact that manually started backups never fail makes me think that Bitdefender is not involved at all.

I don't know how to quote excerpts of postings or how to use general BB codes on this forum so I'm going to fake it. I hope this is reasonable. From Alexandru_BD The antivirus keeps a detailed log of events concerning its activity on your computer. Whenever something relevant to the security of your system or data happens,…

Thank you. I'm sure I'll be popping up here regularly while I get familiar with the product.

Ah, that "donut" is a life preserver. I wondered what it was for but hadn't clicked on it. I've now tried it an see there's a lot of configuration stuff I didn't find by just poking around in the GUI. One thing I don't see in the firewall is the ability to block all network traffic to/from the computer. That's a handy…

I'm not sure why I should contact BitDefender's customer support about this. I was just asking if the function exists. No, I was thinking of the firewall that is part of Kaspersky's protection suites. I just terminated 10 years of use of Kaspersky Internet Security and switched to BitDefender. I was hoping that BitDefender…

I think this is an example of developers notifying us that their beautiful code is protecting us even if those notifications hurt our productivity. (Earlier today I had to reboot to get a flood of this popup to stop.) If the capability exists to "whitelist" a web site then there could also be the possibility of…
