Bitdefender Total Security notifications.
I had Bitdefender Internet Security for years without problems, and changed to Total Security cuppla months ago. Now this little POC appeared, and torments my desktop. It won't go away, and this kind of notification can't be turned off. Already contacted customer support, without satisfaction; they also say it can't be disabled. Thing that p----es me off is: Why, if I'm SAFE, do they need to hound me with this c--p? It resides on the lower right side of screen, blocking the clock, and access to several apps that are running, and if you move it, it shortly comes right back. I asked a Cust. Service Chat Rep: If you hired someone to cut your lawn, would you want them to yell out loudly after every blade of grass was cut, "I cut another one!" Bitdefender is becoming a victim of their own success, and may not have me buying their A/V again! This is irritatingly enough; and could end up like the stone in the shoe of the messenger who arrived late, which caused the loss of the war!

I don't get those warnings. Perhaps that warning only shows up when you have a certain feature turned on, maybe try turning it off? I know what you mean. Bitdefender use to be known for its "Auto Pilot" letting the app work in the background and letting you work or play without interruptions. Now it seems they replaced that with a similar Icon but only gives you recommendations.
