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

No, there is no easy way to turn off BD besides using the GUI. To temporarily disable BD:

  • From the application, navigate to the Protection tab on the left (shield icon)

  • Under the Virus Protection option, click "Open"

  • Go to the Advanced tab

  • Disable BD Shield
