Is Bitdefender sharing our info?
In the 10+ years that I've been a paying Bitdefender customer (multiple products / licenses such as Total Security and Digital Identity Protection), I've never purchased from any resellers / affiliates - I've always purchased directly from Bitdefender.com - yet this is the second time within a year I've received an…

Please bring back the Security Widget in Total Security
As I mentioned in a different thread / category, finding out that the Security Widget as been removed from BD Total Security 2021 in the most recent version is a huge disappointment. It has been one of the best features of the product for years now for several reasons, but one main reason is that it provides an…

Found possible fake / phishing Bitdefender Central site
@BogdanB_BD @Andy_BD I think the Bitdefender team might want to look into these sites I discovered. I've replaced all of the .com extensions with (DOT)com so that nobody will accidentally click to the sites. These are not blacklisted nor does Bitdefender see anything wrong with them, but if you visit you can clearly see…

[available only in TS 2016] Where Is The Optimize Feature?
I manage a large number of BitDefender Antivirus Plus installations and licenses for my family / friends / clients, and I've gotten them all used to using the "Optimize" function in BD AVP 2015 every day to keep their system tuned up.

Warning - Horrible Customer Service Experiences.
Before I get into this tirade I'll preface it with the fact that BitDefender itself is a good security product. I've been a paying customer for a couple years and own several licenses, and additionally have recommended / assisted several family members, friends, and clients with the purchase and install of BitDefender and…

Bitdefender Antivirus Reports That It Is Turned Off
This is a constant bug with bitdefender. Fresh install of 2013 AV Plus, and yet Windows 7 keeps warning "bitdefender antivirus reports that it is turned off" when it is clearly on. I keep a very clean system, everything is updated every day. This doesn't make sense.

Autopilot Disables Itself And Reverts To User Mode Frequently
I recently decided to switch from AVG to Bitdefender Antivirus Plus 2013 and I purchased a multi-install license. So far I'm pretty happy with the decision, but there is a nagging problem: On my laptop computers Bitdefender frequently switches from "Autopilot" to "User Mode" It does so silently in the background, leaving…
