Glad I was included (although a lot of it was griping). Turns out I ended up using the features I was griping about anyhow (antispam). Go figure.

I've decided to just uninstall Bitdefender and walk away.

Yeah, I won't be keeping this installed. This was a waste of money. I'll definitely keep this in mind when writing a review. You mention macOS requires user interaction, but the scan is triggered without user interaction (other than the annoyance of needing to close the window).

I just tried this again. Sitting in my home office on my MacBook Air with my Mac Studio and Dell Optiplex Windows 11 computers clearly visible. I triggered remote full scans with Bitdefender Central's website. Remote scan on the Windows 11 machine did not trigger a window launch. It occurred without any window popups or…

I contacted support. This turns itself back on after every reboot. I'm really at wits end with the problems with Bitdefender and about to uninstall it.

@Alexandru_BD So you're saying the window popped up immediately based on threats found before the threats were found? I triggered it while sitting in the same room and saw the window pop up immediately.

Bitdefender detected several threats, but the window popped up before a threat was found.

At the very least, the VPN installation should be optional. Simply unchecking a box during installation would be an OK option. Forcing the installation only to require it to be removed is not what every user wants. I for one won't be renewing my subscription. I just installed Bitdefender for the first time a few days ago,…

Where is the log that details when threats are updated?

I regret signing up for Bitdefender. It's basically adware pushing their VPN app and not having "special offers" turned off by default in their settings.

Was this ever fixed? It's automatically installed on my devices, which I turned around and uninstalled. However, reading your comment about it repeated reinstalling the VPN is concerning and will cause me to cancel my subscription (which I just signed up for today) and issue a charge back with my credit card.
