What Should We See When Windows 11 Boots and is Being Scanned by Bitdefender?
What Should We See When Windows 11 Boots and is Scanned by Bitdefender? I ask because I got a black screen with white text saying, "Your antivirus is deleting files..................." with the progress dots being about five lines long. The text may not be exactly that, but it's pretty close. I've had Bitdefender on…

Two Wallet Extensions in Chrome
Two different versions of the Wallet Extension for Chrome are showing the Chrome Settings to mange extension. One version is 21.1.9, the other is 18.21.5. I have done a repair of Bitdefender, which didn't change anything. Is this normal and expected? Furthermore, I found this because at the upper right in Chrome the icon…

Windows 10 Update And "block Internet Connection Sharing" Kills Internet
After cold reboot for "Update for Internet Explorer Flash Player for Windows 10 Version 1511 for x64-based Systems (KB3133431)" the Bitdefender Firewall blocks all internet access if "Block Internet Connection Sharing" is enabled. Turning off this setting brings back internet access. This is the only update taken today.…

Easy Bypass/disable Of Bitdefender?
Is there a way to disable Bitdefender, pretty much all of its modules, temporarily when the machine is not connected to a network? Reason? Performance, specifically hard drive I/O during Blu-ray, DVD, CD burning and when recording audio. When doing any of those the network connection is disabled for performance reasons.…

Bitdefender Slows Down Chrome Page Loading
Bitdefender has become so intrusive that it is causing page loading to take minutes instead of seconds and sometimes pages will not open at all unless reopened (the "fix" below). Pages regularly get stuck opening forever. The "fix" is to click the "X" "Stop loading this page" button in Chrome for every page/tab that has…

You Are Vulnerable
BD Internet Security 2016 is started warning me that my machine is vulnerable, every day or two. This is a recent change. The issue is always "No update has been performed in the last 1 days(s)" If I click to "Fix all issues!" sometimes it will initiate an update that succeeds, but more often than not it will fail. To…

Profile - Game And Standard
My profile seems to have switched from Standard to Game. What's the difference? Why one over the other? How or why would it have switched? I'm not aware of having done anything to change it.

This Page Is Being Scanned Gets Stuck
A nice feature of Bitdefender is that weblinks are scanned and a green circle with a white check gets displayed after a page linked to has been deemed safe. This has been working fine until a few days or weeks ago. Currently, on two different machines these will usually display as green/safe when the web pages are…

Update To 2016 Splash Won't Go Away
The splash nag screen to update to BF 2016 keeps coming up at the bottom right. I usually fades slowly, but sometimes it will get stuck, covering the bottom quarter of the screen. Why am I seeing this at all? The machine already has 2016 installed. (of three devices, one does not have 2016, but the nag pops on all three)…

Taskbar Popup Menu And Onscreen Gadget Unresponsive
The taskbar popup menu becomes useless on Win10. Right-clicking it will flash the menu oh so slightly but will not display the menu (pops up and closes immediately), plus the onscreen display/gadget will be frozen and useless - no animation and it can't be moved. Right-clicking the taskbar icon will sometimes cause the…

Web Protection Not Working In Windows 10
Since upgrading to Win10 Web Protection is no longer flagging any problem web pages. I have three machines running Bitdefender. One on Win7, one on Win8.1 and (now) one on Win10. Going to the same web pages on all three result in web protection hits and pages being blocked on the two non-Win10 machines, and did on the…

[fixed] Clicking Invisible Button Opens Windows\system32 Folder
Clicking near the bottom right of the Bitdefender app window will cause the C:\Windows\System32 folder to be opened. There is an invisible button on the app's window. The mouse pointer will change to a hand/finger when over the button. What's the purpose of this "feature"??? This is pretty odd at best. Currently on Win10…
