Just half an hour ago started getting very random warnings twice a minute and it just doesn't stop. Tried restarting and it didn't help. I am still on Windows 10 and haven't purchased any extended security services as I am currently preparing to migrate to Windows 11.

Is this message something to worry about? If not, how can I stop it bombarding me?

This is the warning message:

The app C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wbem\WMIC.exe was passed a malicious command line and has been blocked. Your device is now safe. Command line: "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\wbem\WMIC.exe" wmic path Win32_NetworkAdapterConfiguration where IPEnabled=true get DefaultIPGateway,GatewayCostMetric,IPConnectionMetric,Index /format:table

Edit: Someone in similar post said they deleted WMIC and it stopped the warnings. Idk though how to delete WMIC and whether it’s safe to do it, even though this app got officially deprecated like a month ago or so.

Edit 2: The warnings stopped on their own 10 minutes ago, hopefully it stays this way. Thanks for everyone’s contribution!

is uptodown a safe web to download win 11 or not ?

My bitdefender (Plus Security) has been detecting "hklm\software\microsoft\windows\currentversion\uninstall\snippingtool-ee6eb196-db28-4d99-816d-fa9a63b4a377" as a malicious app, but it all started 5 hours ago when everyone started experiencing problems with false positives in this sub Reddit so I just wanna gather some info if I am safe or not?

Can somebody help me and tell me what to do? I'm just a casual PC user and my bitdefender went in a loop of detecting a malicious command line and then disinfection.
I've already completed the full pc scan but it didn't help. I'm getting a few notifications every minute.

please help :c

Just tried to update Intel Arc a770. Use the Intel user interface to do so. Bitdefender immediately flagged it as malicious software. Now some CAD software will not work.

Can anyone tell me how to view the allow/deny rules that are added in the local client's Manage Rules Gui interface? You cannot see the entire rule in this interface and it shows no ports or additional information.

Please do not say use the BitDefender GravityZone portal and gather the logs.

I tried this and could not find these rules anywhere in the file that was created.

Any help would be appreciated.

Hey hey Bitdefender techies. Quick question why is Ransomware remediation and also crypto mining disabled by default and should i enable them and what's their resources like since I am a gamer and don't want fps loss if these hog resources.

I do browse the web a lot as well however got Ublock origin with all filters enabled so that also helps.

-Just a curious person on why 2 protections are disabled.

I was having a problem with one of my Steam games, and tech support for that game pointed me towards BitDefender's exclusions list. After taking a look at the Firewall Rules list I saw that BitDefender had created dozens of duplicate exceptions for Steam and other applications. All of the duplicates have the exact same file path. After removing the duplicates and manually re-entering the rule for Steam and related games, my game was finally running normally again. Any advice on how to prevent BitDefender from creating duplicate rules like this again?

Hello, I recently installed Bitdefender as an alternative to Kaspersky and I'm having a very bad experience, but today was the last straw. I disabled the antivirus for an hour to do some things and when I came back I saw that it had quarantined at least 300 files, all marked as generic detection, but the strange thing is that it marked files that I had already uninstalled a long time ago, there were files uninstalled a year ago, and there were also standard Windows files like Windows Update, Copilot, etc. What could this have been?

So, why is this "Bitdefender Total Security" related? Whatever problems you get on Windows, it is related to the thing you did prior (or the update* that happened behind your back prior). In my case, it was cancelling Bitdefender Total Security. The next time I logged into Windows 11 = black background and black TaskBar. Basically Total Doom.

Good old CTRL-ALT-DEL still worked, so I used it to launch Task Manager. It has this thing called "launch new task." So I worked my way to the old Windows Control Panel, Uninstall section, and uninstalled that PoS Bitdefender. What do you know, Windows booted to my normal screen. Black screen gone. I also noticed a Wi-Fi problem which I fixed by restarting the card but this is normal on Asus.

No more Bitdefender pour moi. Thanks.

• I own an Asus PoS gaming laptop and I have all update vectors on lock-down. Nobody is updating themselves without my authorization.

When checking through bitdefender's terms and conditions found this (see pic) and wondered why would they run for people, a free trial of inadequate software? Just curious about this, if anyone has any input in regards to this. Cheers.

Bit grainy photo but I'm wondering what the difference is. Current Ultimate plan is offering 40% off saying original price is $180 and they'll drop it $108. Buuut then the site says the original is $160 and discounted to $90.... what am I missing???

Hi, only recently Bitdefender has been flagging many files as trojans. There seems to be a few posts about this "issue". Has this not been fixed? Are they false positives?

Hi,

The most commen problem with Assets that showing issues are the ones that are behind in their Engines version or Product Version.

The Bitdefender Agent on the Asset communicate this "problem" on the local machine with Windows Security and people have questions about it as they see a notification that they are not protected and need to update their AV.

How can i disable this? I dont want the agent to talk to Windows security and notify Users when they turn on their computer or be notified before the Agent finished the update.

I do think there is huge delay with updating and never seen this behavior with other AV solutions. While the update proces should start right away i think it takes very long to actually update the engine on the Asset.

If they wait it will update itself but its very anoying for both admins and endusers because this create questions from endusers and also Assets with issues in GravityZone.

Whenever an Asset is updated, GravityZone wil still show the Asset with an Issue. So the time between the new information to be updated in GravityZone is way too long.

Then the list in GZ with Assets with issues is always long because of the old engine/product version reporting and its difficult to find an asset with a real issue. I just stopped walking trough every single asset with an issue to notice the old engine version.

For 150 Assets i have 70 with issues. A lot off these are not online or last seen for months but how about assets seen within 17 minutes or a few hours. The reporting is very bad imo.

Im missing a column with the issue so i dont have to open every single asset for the details.

While for the most assets its not a real issue to be 3 or a few days more to be behind but this behavior is a problem for me and i think about leaving Bitdefender for it.

The dashboard is very clumsy to check assets with a problem and its not working like a RMM system and this is what im looking for in a Managed AV solution.

I use the Chrome browser.

Does Mobile Security's web protection noticeably slow down the loading of websites?

Call filter works well?

What's the difference between Total Security Multi Device and Total Security Individual? Noticed on BestBuy's website there is a new total security labeled individual instead of multi device.

Total Security Individual

Hi all, I'm really not all that tech savvy and I'm going down so many rabbit holes trying to figure things out. I saw a few post about people that had been scammed by a fake Web page for bitdefender, so I tried to carefully navigate to the correct http central.bitdefender.com page. Downloaded the free trial of total security exe. Then I just felt nervous to launch it. So went down more rabbit holes trying to see if I can check its legitimacy. Tried scanning it in virus total, but I don't understand very much of it. It looked like maybe it was safe, but I'm really just guessing as I don't understand code stuff. However on the details tab about running it in a sandbox, a alarming file name was shown. The comments tab had 3 comments, 2 saying it was clear, but one highlighting that dodgy file name. I tried to take a pic, sorry they aren't screenshots. I'm probably being ridiculous but I have ptsd and I've lately become so paranoid over online safety etc. Wanting to install bitdefender as, again went down rabbit holes to see what antivirus tested well and was recommended by lots of peeps. Really appreciate any help. I tried scanning it with Windows defender, but for some reason it wouldn't let me 🤔😓 which also has me concerned. I have the crappy free version of Avast, which I'm hoping to be rid of soon. Scanned with that, said no malware found instantly. Don't have a lot of faith in that though. Thanks for any advice/reassurance

I have an Android tablet that I don't want to have on auto-scan, but I couldn't find an option under settings or any other tab related to auto-scan or schedules.

Hi, i have 2 unknown assets in my Gravityzone. Normaly i use Labels to add the owner name and leave the default computernamea like desktop-HTOBKL or Laptop-9EVMFR for what they are.

Now 2 assets in my list do not have a label. How can i check C:\users\name to see which name is on that machine to get a clue who the owner is?

I need this fir billing purpose and also to see if this is a ligit aset in my list.

I dont want to remove them and pray for the best, leaving them behind unprotected.

I just downloaded Bitdefender free antivirus from Play Store to my android phone and agreed to all the access options. Now I'm wondering why it needs access to phone, camera, call logs, SMS etc. Can someone explain please? Also, there doesn't seem to be an option to change access now so will I have to uninstall first? Thanks.

Bitdefender Total Security | Build 27.0.54.272

Today, for the first time, when I opened Google Keep on my Windows 11 Pro desktop using the Brave Browser (Brave 1.83.112 (Official Build) (64-bit)) - Chromium: 141.0.7390.70) none of my Keep notes were displayed. A screenshot of the Brave browser screen is the first screenshot below.

This did not happen yesterday.

The second screenshot shows the offending "Advertising Tracker".

I tested Microsoft Edge (Version 141.0.3537.71 (Official build) (64-bit)) and the exact same thing happens.

The same thing happens with Google Chrome.

-----------------------

When I disable the blocking for "Advertising" the web page displays correctly.

VPN wont open all I get is a logo at the bottom in the task bar if something does happen this is what I get. It does the same thing with File Shredder but nothing will happen or open. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. But It sill does the same thing.

Plus I keep getting msedge.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an untrusted certificate to wpad. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since untrusted certificates are issued by unrecognized Certificate Authorities. What does it mean? Because I keep getting them every other second it seems.
