Password Manager On A Shared Total Security Subscription
I have shared one of my 5 licences with my cousin. I also share my VPN with her. My question is: Could she buy a Password Manager licence without having to buy her own Bitdefender licence? I use 2 of my Total Security and 3 of my VPN licences. My understanding is, unless I'm wrong, that my Password Manager is a single (one…

Over protecting because of vulnerability alert
For years and years the vulnerability scan would alert me of "weak password" issues. I always ignored them. Two days ago, in a moment a weakness, I added a password as directed. This morning, I turned on my desktop and nothing happened. It would not turn on unless I typed in that awful long and strong password I had added.…

OneClick Optimizer query
This is embarrassing, as a Bitdefender Total Security user for more than a decade. OneClick Optimizer comes with the options "Disk Cleanup" and "Privacy Cleanup" checked by default. But the "Registry Cleanup" is not. What happens if I select "Registry Cleanup"? Will it delete important things that I may want to keep?…

IObit Uninstaller dangerous?
Since last week, every time I open my IObit paid subscription, Bitdefender advises me that it blocked a dangerous threat in "Online Threat Prevention". In notifications, the same link appears: Is this a false positive?

File Shredder??
For the longest time, I've been getting "Run File Shredder" pop ups on a regular basis. Tonight I decided to give it a GO. I clicked on the "C:" box and it started at 0% as expected. (0/288xxx) An hour later, it is still at "0%" an 331/288xxx. When I clicked the "STOP Button" a pop up says: Bitdefender not responding. I…

Password Manager
This is obviously a strange request for most of you. I have been a Total Security User since 2012. Now, at 76 yr/o, I would like to properly use more of it's functions, but I'm afraid to try. I have never been computer savvy. My question today is: How do I enable Password Manager without messing things up? I have at least…

IObit Uninstaller
Will IObit Uninstaller interfere in any way with Bitdefender's smooth operation? I am asking because IObit wants me to install an Advanced SystemCare plug-in that, IMHO is similar to what is included in my BD Total Security Settings.

Your protection expires on 2019-08-01. Sit back, relax, and enjoy continuous advanced cyber-protection. Renew now! Thing is, I have…

Is VPN a MUST for me
I have BD Total Security. I never use a public computer. I have my home PC, W7, Home Premium. What exactly would an added, excluded to my Total paid version, do for me. I don't mind paying for the best protection out there...But give me something for it. Do I REALLY need this?

CCleaner???
Hi, For the longest time, I've had CCleaner free version installed on my computer. IMHO, it's the best tool to clean cookies and cache. This morning, it tells me that an update is available. The problem I am now faced with is, it doesn't seem to do as much (free version) as the previous ones. My question is: Will the PRO…

FIREWALL
This is probably an odd question, but I don't have the answer. In the Firewall Adapters, this is what I find. Is this what it should be set at? If not, how should it be, and why. Windows 7, Home Premium, 64 bits. Bitdefender TS 2017. snapshot_blob.bin

Upgrade to TS 2017??
I have been a Bitdefender Total Security customer for a number of years. I have recently renewed my subscription for 2016 TS. (Late July, 2016) I received an eMail today, informing me that the TS 2017 is available, along with the new Bitdefender Box. My Questions are: Since I, now have 407 days left on my renewed TS 2016…

Bizarre Firewall Behaviour
I have recently upgraded to TS 2017. Win 7, home premium, 64 bits. I am on Autopilot. When I first turned on my computer, this morning, Bitdefender started a full System Scan. (the Scan in process window opened) This is the very first time it's ever happened in the many years I've had Bitdefender. I assume that I set it up…

Security Widget
Ever since I upgraded to TS 2017, I have to manually reset to "Show Security Widget" every time I turn my computer on. Even if, there was a "Hide Security Widget" Default setting, the fact that I switched to "SHOW" should remain as my preference, should it not? As suggested by Bitdefender, I am, and remain on Autopilot. As…

Warning Points
I have Bitdefender Total Security 2016 While replying to a post, something odd caught my attention. Under my avatar, it is mentioned "0 warning points" I did some further searching, and I seem to be the only one with that "notice". Why is it there? Have I done something wrong?

Language In "view New Content"
Hello, As of very recently, whenever I click on "View New Content", I get content in languages that I don't understand, other than (US) English ONLY. I can only assume that, this could be a new (to me) default setting by a Bitdefender Update. Can someone explain how to filter "View New Content" by Language/Country? I have…

Can't Find Bitdefender Total 2016
To put an end to all of the problems I had with Windows 10, I bought a used, certified computer with Windows 7. I then proceded to activate my Bitdefender, and it went as far as removing Windows Defender as the primary/only antivirus protection. Now, since I can't find Bitdefender anywhere on my OS, I can't uninstall and…

Bdts 2016
After a successful upgrade to TS 2016, the icon in the sys tray turned to gray. I checked trouble shooting and did as it was suggested. I still can't get it going. Windows Defender is on now, by default. The bdsyslog is on my wall and I can't drop it on here. It won't let me. All I get is inspect element when I try. I copy…

Bitdefender Total Security
I have just received the Microsoft notification that Windows 10 is now ready to be installed on my computer. I am running Windows 7, 64 bits, Home Premium. Are there any precautions I should take so that my upgrade goes without any glitches?
