Remove Bitdefender certificates from my PC
I am using Bitdefender 2017 on a Windows 10 PC. I want to disable Web and Email Protection components that scan https traffic because I don't want to use BD certificates in a "man in the middle" process (for however noble the cause). The reasons to do this (or not) merits another whole discussion thread. In the mean time,…

Why the difference in # of days remaining?
I have always purchased BDTS editions. Why is there a difference between the the various modules as shown in the attached file?

Like the title says: it appears that BD loads after a significant part of Windows gets loaded. How does it defend (in normal mode of operations, not booting off some rescue disk ...) against rootkits that load before the OS? Aloke

Web Protection And Scan Ssl - Should I Do It?
Whats the community's opinion on the sagacity of installing BD as a certificate authority (making it a "man in the middle" in my SSL traffic)? Is it worth it? Does it make BD as a potential source of attack vector? like if they get compromised? Here is an excerpt from the web site:…

Pc Goes To Sleep In The Middle Of A Scan
I am running a desktop Windows 10 on the default "balanced" plan: display off in 10 min, sleep in 30 min. The computer goes to sleep in the middle of a system scan. This is preventing a full system scan from completing. Should this happen? Shouldn't the CPU and disk activity prevent the PC from going to sleep? Any way to…

Will Bdts 2015 Automatically Update Itself To Bdts 2016?
I suspect that I already know the answer.. but might as well ask to be sure: Will BDTS2015 update itself to BDTS2016 through the AutoPilot update process? if not, will both versions be supported for the remainder of the BDTS2015 license period? If I do a manual uninstall+install, which uninstall tool should I use to remove…

Can Bd Total Sec 2013 Coexist W Malawarebytes?
I'm using BDTS 2013. I have no complaints, but would like to install MalawareBytes as a secondary line of defense.

How Does Bd Detect Rootkits?
How does BD (or any antivirus, for that matter) detect rootkits? Rootkits load before the OS and hide themselves from the file system. So, how does BD detect them? Will BD detect rootkits when run in the normal GUI mode in Windows (Quick scan or System scan)? Thanks. Aloke
