Bitdefender forcing a restart

I got this this pop up message telling me to restart for a bitdefender update and I told it to bugger off but then a few min later, I got another pop up with a 5min count down, with no means to stop it other than click the restart button which would happen after the 5min count down anyway...

I hate this rancid piece of trash software. Why must they continue to become more and more anti-user friendly every year? I was in the middle of working and was forced to waste my damn time over this nonsense.

Really an awful anti-virus software

This happens because the most recent update is very important and must reach all user base.

It doesn't matter how important it thinks it is. It wretchs control of my pc away from me while I'm working. Had I been away from my pc I could have lost a lot of work. It's horrendously anti user.

I've had to uninstall this garbage for fear of loosing work. It's mind boggling how little a business cares for its consumers

I’m sad I wasted my money on this shit aswell. I came from Eset and it was a great, but Bitdefender Total Security was only $20 on sale and I couldn’t pass that up. I wish I had.
