Was told that they are working on an update to keep the screen from popping up constantly, but there would not be an option to uninstall, disable installation, or in any way remove Scam Copilot. I've since moved on to another product.

This is the screen that randomly pops up. It happens moreso with my laptop and I suspect it has to do with opening the lid/awakening my MacBook Air M1. However, it does occur occasionally on my Mac Studio without any known trigger. I have never seen this randomly pop up on my Windows 11 computers (Dell Precision 7770, Dell…

I posted in the Mac category because the pop ups are happening on my Mac computers and not on my Windows computers. It's the standard interaction window (the chat window) as if I had clicked it. It randomly pops up. Previously, support has told me this is a known issue and they are working on a solution. Now this appears…

No problem here (with time machine protection enabled). However, after upgrading to Sequoia, I had to unmount and remount my Time Machine disk.

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.
