Possible Windows 10 problem
I think BD Free is now causing random restarts in the latest build of Windows 10. I had 2 today and 3 or 4 in the last week. I uninstalled and am currently running with just Windows Defender and there are no problems.

Bitdefender Free blocking AdBlock and AdBlock plus updates
Ever since the Fall Creator's Update, BD Free is not allowing ad blockers to update or sometimes even work in the Edge browser. If it is turned off, everything is fine. This didn't happen before the Windows 10 update. The blocks do not show as events either, it just happens. BD Free has been reinstalled, the Edge browser…

Mysterious Detection
I have the free Android version on my Nexus 7 tablet. Yesterday it said the aggressive adware was detected in the form of something called dkandroid.apk. I looked it up and found nothing. I told BD to remove it and so far everything is fine. What happened there?

New Bitdefender Free
I installed it when I saw it was out of Beta. I used it for years before the old version was no longer good for Windows 10. So far, I really like it. It's fast, and doesn't slow anything down. It also passes all the security tests I have thrown at it including web threats. It has virtually no configuration options but when…

Out of Date Notification
I keep getting a notification in Windows 10 that Bitdefender is out of date. I have the free edition v 1.0.3.7. It says in events that an update has finished but the notifications still show. There is also a very noticeable increase in system boot up time on my Win 10 tablet with an Atom Z3735F CPU and 2GB RAM.

Free Version
Is there any word on when the promised new free version might be released?

Too Many Problems
I got tired of all the issues that kept cropping up such as things not loading right at boot (sometimes, some things didn't load at all), boot times varying between 80 seconds and over 2 minutes, autopilot not allowing disabling of CD scanning, Bitdefender not activating, etc. I uninstalled it and went back to Panda Free…

Autopilot Problem
I have discovered that I can not use autopilot in BD plus 2015 without having issues with my optical drives. With AP on, you can not turn off auto scanning of media when it is inserted which is one thing I don't like. I went to install a game from a DVD and BD scanned the disk for what seemed like ages before even letting…

Problem With Some Pages Fixed.
Wallet is very sensitive on some sites and will not work with the URL of the main site. For example, the only way I could get it to autofill on Lowe's website was to not log in until I wanted to actually check out and pay for something. I had to manually paste the url of the checkout page into Wallet to get it to work. I'm…

Difference From 2015
Is the ransomware protection the main difference from the 2015 version? Is everything else basically the same?

Autopilot And Updates
I apologize if this has been asked and answered before but the search function for this forum is absolute trash and only gives results for today. If you try to get older posts, you get all of them and not just what you had searched for. My question is this: Does Autopilot have to be turned on in order to get automatic…

New Free Version Coming According To Bd.
Bitdefender has stated on Twitter that there will be a new free version but that it may be a while before we see it. If it comes, I may try it but for now, I'm very happy with Panda.

Concerned
With all the problems being reported in the paid versions and web protection not working in the free edition (who knows what else might not be working right) I'm getting very tempted to switch over to Windows Defender until these problems get fixed.

Win 10 Behavior
Aside from HTTP scanning not working as in previous Windows versions I also noticed something else. If you turn off the Virus Shield in BD Free, Windows Defender almost immediately turns itself on. If you reactivate Virus Shield, Defender goes off. I don't remember this happening in 8.1 or in 7. They must have improved the…

Bitdefender Free 2015
What is this 2015 edition? Is it different from what I have, which still shows as version 1.0.21.1099?

Bitdefender And Gog Galaxy
When I installed GOG galaxy and was installing The Witcher 3 through it, Bitdefender blocked galaxyclient.exe. I told it to unblock and everything seemed fine. Last night , while playing Witcher, my computer just shut down and rebooted. It booted to the welcome screen and then went to a blank black screen that just stayed…

Free Edition Status
I emailed Bitdefender asking if the free version would continue to be supported and possibly updated and I got the following response. Please be kindly informed that all Bitdefender products, paid or free versions, share the same antivirus protection and shall receive technical support as long as they are used. We are glad…

Question About Forum
This is the only forum I have ever frequented where there is no text wrap when you are posting or even when editing a post. Everything just goes on one long line. Why is that? It is very strange and sometimes annoying. I couldn't find an area to put this question so just put it here. The mods can move it if necessary.

Windows10 Preview
How compatible with Windows 10 is Bitdefender Free? It installed for me but seems to be slow to update and scanning seems very slow. At the moment it is saying: Last updated 12/31/1969.

Too Many Quick Scans?
How often is BD free supposed to do quick scans? I read somewhere that it is every 2 days. Mine does it a lot more often than that as can be seen in the attached picture. Also each one only takes between 20-25 seconds and scans approximately 1200-1300 files. It never shows any files as being known to be clean.

This Program Does Not Work At All.
I have now tried it on two machines running Windows 8.1 and on both, the initial scan gets stuck at 90% negotiating with server and won't go further. On the rare occasion (about one in 20), that the program does actually open, the setting for the scanning can't be set to off without it immediately reverting to ON as soon…

Safepay Won't Open
Safepay never completes the initial scan. It gets stuck at 90% and "negotiating with server". I have it and Bitdefender free AV installed on Win 8.1 64 bit.
