Fully Unblock 2 Programs (or Sites For Them To Work In)
Since installing Bitdefender Total Security 2016 I’ve been having an awful time with my two keyboard macro programs (Keyboard Express and ShortKeys), namely, they don't work in any browser. Both programs -- initially blocked -- are now in the Trusted list, but are still ignored in Chrome, Firefox, IE, and Edge. I realize…

Can't Check Boxes In Quick Or System Scan Settings
Trial user, BD Total Security 2015, Windows 7 Pro 64bit I can't seem to select any scan targets in the settings for either Quick Scan or System Scan -- only on Custom Scan.

Advanced Options Grayed Out
BDTS user, new license. Windows 7 Pro 64bit. Each scan shows the summary window when finished, even when no threats are found.

Include Offline Kit In Basic Installation Info
Seems a lot of new users (incl myself) are advised to use the "offline install" after various hangs & freezes; but this advice wasn't easy to find. Perhaps the note about the option to use the offline installer could be part of the standard info furnished to first-timers.

Total Security Trial - Install Never Moves, Stays At 0%
Hi. I'm trying to install the 30-day trial of BD Total Security. All 3 progress bars appear at 0% and never move. No error messages display, no BSOD, the Internet still works, and nothing else on the PC hangs or misbehaves -- the install window just appears and remains motionless. I've fully uninstalled my old security…
