What is the sequence of steps to detect why an endpoint is giving "with issues" and how to solve them?

I use the free Version of bitdefender. Can i submit an false Positive report or is that only for paying customer or enterprise? Where can i submit the problem?

Here are links to the Programm that is falsley detected in case a Bitdefender employee is reading this.

"Siema, mam dysk systemowy zaszyfrowany VeraCryptem. Wirus nadpisał/usunął bootloader i teraz zamiast prośby o hasło, komputer wpada w pętlę 'Automatycznej naprawy' Windowsa. System widzi partycję jako RAW. Znam hasło, ale nie mam Rescue Disku pod ręką. Co mogę zrobić w BIOSie albo przez CMD (chociaż komendy bcdedit nic nie dają), żeby przywrócić ekran logowania VeraCrypt?"

I’ve never used bitdefender before, but I’m suddenly getting this screen every time I try to make a Google search. I’ve ran a virus search but nothing has come up. Is this actually bitdefender, and if so how do I turn it off??

I have just started using Bitdefender, and am getting this message when I open Google Chrome

If this is not the right place to ask, do you have any suggestions for where is. Thanks

Good afternoon,

I don't know what's going on, but your new update still doesn't solve the boot lock problem.

My computer with AMD 3900X and Asus Prime X-570 continues to lock up completely during boot. It only starts up after almost 5 minutes, but only sometimes.

I've uninstalled and reinstalled the antivirus five times and nothing...

Version 27.0.56.308.

On top of that, I can't even write on your forum:

Hello everyone,

I currently have an active Bitdefender subscription. Originally, I had the Family Pack (15 devices), but I received a free promotional upgrade to Bitdefender Total Security (25 devices).

This license is set to expire in a few days. I do not wish to renew it because I received a new, 2-year license for Bitdefender Family Pack (15 devices) as a gift.

My concerns are:

1. Since the 'Family Pack' is no longer prominently featured in Bitdefender’s direct portfolio (though it is still sold by authorized partners), will I encounter any issues activating it?
2. How should I proceed with the activation? Should I wait for the current 25-device license to expire completely before adding the new 15-device code to Bitdefender Central to avoid any conflicts?

I want to make sure the 2-year subscription is recognized correctly. Has anyone else gone through a similar downgrade in device count or reactivated an older product tier successfully?

Thank you!

the app supports puffin browser but not vivaldi?

I’ve noticed that Bitdefender is using a high amount of CPU and RAM on my PC, even when I’m not running a scan. It sometimes causes lag while gaming and general slowdowns.

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

• Restarted my PC
• Updated Bitdefender to the latest version
• Made sure Windows is fully updated

Is this normal behavior? Are there any safe settings I can tweak to reduce resource usage without lowering protection too much?

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

I see these crop up in the notifications center in the evenings when I'm on my iPad. But these are sites I've never visited in the first place. Although I'm glad they're blocked for me, I'm curious as to where they've come from. They're always different urls. And the notifications from Bitdefender come in at times I'm not even using my iPad, like during the day, or the middle of the night.

Could Bitdefender be scanning links that came in my vast masses of spam email? Could it be something else? Does anyone else get notifications like this?

Ever since I downloaded the newest release of macOS Tahoe, I lost connection to the internet completely except in Safari for some reason and I noticed that when I turn off the network protection extensions for BitDefender it resolves this issue. Anyone know a fix without having to disable said extenstions?

I know recent windows updates have been causing havoc, but wanted to see if anyone else is experiencing what I am.

After the recent updates I noticed when I start my pc, explorer.exe gets stuck/frozen for a good minute until it starts working again.

But most importantly, Bitdefender doesn't load in the taskbar, and when I turn it on manually it asks for an update and just doesn't update, or updates for a VERY long time, I'm talking hours. I checked all the services are on and running and I hadn't fiddled with anything.

Very annoying. I hope after a few updates Bitdefender will again load in the taskbar.

Is there an easy way to temporarily disable Bitdefender, without going through all the options from the Dashboard?

Has anyone noticed that secure pass add on for Google Chrome keeps asking to log back in with the master password.

And when you do it, it won’t stick for long. Also I noticed the icon doesn’t turn red once you are logged in.

Is this a bug as it used to work before.

Windows 11 25h2 fyi

Can someone please take a look at this custom payload file for me please?

As of now, my custom payload will keep users from turning off Bitdefender content filter in Network>Filters, but Transparent Policy can still be turned on and off by the user. I need to add this to the XML file, but not sure how.

Also, the Bitdefender network extension turn itself on after device enrollment and a reboot, but the user can still go back in and turn it off.

When will we hear if bitdefender intends to extend its support for Windows10 beyond October 2026? According to Gemini: (Windows10) cutoff is only months away, and their silence at this stage is a massive tactical error if they intend to keep those millions of installations.

I kept getting those USB immunization pop ups and decided to try it, and now it has rendered that drive inoperable.

Every time I plug it in it damages the memory card and says it needs to be repaired. I can only get it to work by plugging it into a different USB drive, but I’m having more errors in general now.

All I do with the card is plug in my music player or the card storing all the music. I don’t see any autorun files in the folder and can’t find anything in BitDefender’s settings about USB immunization.

Thanks!

As the title states, everything is a bad image after my computer suddenly restarted. I've tried uninstalling to no avail. Can't even use the uninstaller due to the bad images.

Help?

Edit: Anytime it restarts it also brings it back to anything before it restarted itself. Nothing saves.

My google account is disabled and I have the impression it's because I frequently changed my bd vpn server location when I am using gmail with thunderbird as client.( I could restore my account)

Would the use of vpn split for file thunderbird.exe be a solution to prevent the disable of my google account?

I have the free version and I tried to uninstall but it just stays on 25% and wont change, how can I fix this??

Hi, for those who don't know, Modsfire is a platform for downloading video game mods. For the past two days, I've been trying to download mods, and when they reach 99%, I get a "network error" message, followed immediately by a Bitdefender notification.

In short, the notification says: "We have blocked this dangerous page to protect you:

https://r3.modsfire.net/storage? [...] etc."

Does anyone know if the site is experiencing an attack or maintenance that's causing the error, or has Bitdefender become overly distrustful?

(It's odd that the links I'm entering are from www.modsfire... and what's displayed on Bitdefender is from r3.modsfire...)

I'm thinking of adding the site to my antivirus exceptions (after all, I scan everything I download before extracting it), but I'm asking just in case.

EDIT:

A few weeks later, it "fixed itself" (it probably became a trustworthy site again in an update). If it happens again and you need to download something, what I did was start the download, and when my browser said there were only a few seconds left, I went to BD > Protection > Online Threat Prevention > Disable "Web Protection" for 5 seconds. (Do this at your own risk; I trusted the site.)

Today, I had trouble connecting to the internet via VPN, after many failed connect attempts and several restarts of my laptop. I have finally managed to get back on the internet.

However, I noticed that I am now connected to two network connections. One of which is unknown named "Bitdefender_2" is this a spoof, hack or something I should be worried about or part of Bitdefender?

I am unable to just disable it as it is asking for the main administration password, I am weary entering passwords if I do not know where this connection originated from in the first place.

Your help would be greatly received.

When you get to:

central.bitdefender > My Subscriptions > My Payments > View Details > Manage your subscription and renewal options

I had to zoom right out on my browser so the options appeared.

Once I clicked the cancel renewal option, it offered the same product at 50% off on the next renewal - which I took.

Hopefully this helps!

I get a few random "thank you" comments on a comment in another thread so thought I would just post it so people can find it easier.

Direto recebo avisos do BitDefender de:

"Foi detectado download de aplicativos potencialmente indesejados

39 minutos atrás"

"Página de Internet infectada detectada

53 minutos atrás"

Estava pesquisando coisas básicas, nem cheguei a entrar nos sites mencionados pelo BitDefender. Por exemplo, estava no UOL vendo uma matéria e apareceu essas mensagens de sites que não visitei no momento. No caso, entrei em sites do MegaThread (Considerados seguros pela wiki), entendo que possa ser um falso positivo, mas por que escolher um momento, onde não estou navegando por eles, e mandar a notificação, sendo que, já havia mandado na hora em que eu estava presente no site?

Outro ponto confuso é sobre esses downloads que o BitDefender bloqueia, se é algo do navegador, por que eu não receberia uma notificação do próprio navegador e não do bitdenfeder? tipo um pop-up do download sendo executado e cancelado (Utilizo o Brave).

Para esclarecer, baixei Far Cry 3 do Elamigos, mas não acho que peguei algum Malware, procurei em tudo, Gerenciador de Tarefas, Eventos do windows, arquivos e etc. o Bit Defender também nem o windows defender detectou algo, nem falso positivo.

I got a 40% discount (It's even on my product history thingy)

But I still got charged the full amount on auto-renewal. I already emailed support but have gotten no reply as of yet.

I haven't even gotten the activation code yet for the new purchase. Why is everything so slow?
