Poll: Should Bitdefender Make A Linux Version for Home Users?
As a longtime user of Bitdefender (since 2014), the topic of a Linux version has been floating around on and off for the past decade. However, what makes these requests different this time around is the end of life support for Windows 10. Many users, unhappy with what Microsoft is doing to with Windows 11, are starting to…

So It Seems The Security Widget Is Gone For Good?
I just downloaded and installed the latest version of Bitdefender Total Security, and right off the bat I'm off-put by the atrocious new UI. But what's especially disappointing is that it seems as though the Security Widget is no longer available. Is this really the case? Or is it just hidden really good?

How Do You Quickly Add Multiple Files To The Exceptions List?
I'm trying to add over 30 items (such as Cheat Engine components) to the Advance Threat Defense and Ransomware exceptions list. How would I do this quickly? Drag and drop does not seem to work; and browsing to the files manually, one-at-a-time takes forever! So how do you quickly add a large amount of items to the…

So, Bitdefender Is Playing Dirty Now!
I've just noticed recently that Bitdefender is blocking and flagging components of the BitTorrent application "utorrent" ( http://www.utorrent.com/ ). On one of my systems, whenever I try to launch utorrent, I get an error message that goes something like this: "Windows cannot access the specified device, path, or file.…

So....what Happens Again When I Shutdown Instead Of Reboot?
I'm normally very good with rebooting my computer right away when it is necessary. Windows needs to reboot for updates? I drop everything and reboot. Installed a new driver? Reboot. Bitdefender informs me I need to reboot? I do just that. However, last night was an exception. I was working on a report that I was already…

Is Bitdefender Having An Identity Crisis?
It seemed like Bitdefender was dumping the labeling of their antivirus products by years. The 2014 edition, instead of being labeled "Bitdefender Internet Security 2014", was simply called "Bitdefender Internet Security" (dropping the year). This is common among antivirus companies. For example Avira, AVG, and Kaspersky…

Firewall Settings: What They Mean, And What They Do.
All right. I'm new to BitDefender. I have searched for these topics, but the ones I've found either don't explain this very well, or aren't even answered. All right, here they are: Stealth Mode- what is this and what does it do? Generic- what is this and what does it do? Thank you for your support.
