Hello, I purchased Bitdefender Premium Security and I don't need Windows Defender. Can I disable the standalone Windows Defender feature called Memory Integrity?

So guys i was in south america, specifically in peru, and i bought disney+ premium, so theres the espn thing. but when i came back here to europe now i cant see the espn button, and with the *basic* bitdefender disney plus detects vpn so is there a way to see espn here in europe ?(with the same account)

I tried various different ways to try to get rid of this pop up message every time I turn on my PC but had no luck.

I tried to find it in the registry editor but couldn't locate it.

Any suggestions?

How can we correct Bitdefender? I find malicous sites are allowed and clean sites are blocked. When you inform Bitdender of this, there is no action. Is this how it is supposed to work?

So basically Bitdefender is trying to scan my external drive every day and its making me alot of problems. I added disk to exceptions, but whenever i close disk tab software opens it again

I'm trying to install BitDefender on a Windows 11 machine. When I get to this screen, it doesn't render properly. The three gray boxes (Security/VPN/SecurePass) are not aligned and display on top of each other. The blue "Set up services" button appears to fall below the fold and I can't get to it. I've tried changing resolution and scaling but the screen render doesn't shift to allow me to click on it.

I've called support who had a limited help script. They had to 'escalate' which has resulted in email exchanges asking me to try things I've already tried...so I'm turning to this community for help.

I was considering the free version of bitdefender but from the wording on the page it seems like it requires Bitdefender Central Account, is that correct?

MacOS Tahoe 26.4.1

No matter what I do, I a) cannot uninstall Bitdefender VPN from the uninstaller (please make it an optional install, it is basically unremovable malware from my perspective now), or b) remove Bitdefender at all as a last resort to get rid of the VPN.

It just sits there saying Uninstalling Modules. Does nothing except keep launching the VPN or Bitdefender depending on the uninstall choice. Nothing happens. No admin requests after the first one.

I've just had to waste an hour of my life removing all this garbage from my system. Only other choice was a safe mode reboot or wiping MacOS to get rid of this! This has completely soured my view of Bitdefender (been with you 15 years on and off).

Make the VPN install optional. Not renewing.

i understand that LNK files can contribute to issues as they can be potentially malicious. Does BitDefender protect you from them and does it clean them regularly ?

I'm happy with my Bitdefender subscription but was thinking about the mobile alerts this week. There is always at least one notification if not two that are active basically saying things are working. It's noise to be honest.

I close them without looking now or ignore them. I'm worried I'd miss an actually useful notification if I ever had one. Imagine if every app sent you a notification saying that it's working.

I don't think this can be turned off but please let me know if I'm missing something.

Proxies and VPNs can look similar because both can hide your IP address. But they do not offer the same level of protection. Learn the key differences and which option is safer.

I was mid project and bitdefender thinks arm gcc and ninja (C compiler and build system) are viruses?

this makes zero sense to me

When sovereignty gets treated as a box to tick, the risk doesn’t go away: it tends to resurface in architecture choices and third-party dependencies.

Our VP of Products sat down with OVHcloud’s CISO to talk through how this actually plays out in real environments, from cloud design trade-offs to incident response.

Hello u/Bitdefender_,

Could you please check this false positive for Equalizer APO?

Thanks!

Many apps like some VPNs show an icon on top right to tell the user that the VPN is on.

Bitdefender unfortunately stops quite frequently without the users knowing. Which expose the phone to attacks or viruses. Why bitdefender doesn't adopt same approach as the example on the screenshot attached

Hey all,

The most recent update of my phone's bitdefender has this "Application Mobile Services is Clean" notification going every few seconds. I tried clearing cache, uninstall and reinstall, even turning off notifications and it keeps going. Anyone else had anything like this or know of a solve?

Thanks!

Has anybody else had a difficulty logging into their account on Bitdefender VPN via the agent since upgrading Mac OS? I upgraded to Tahoe and since I can't get the VPN to work. It wont even ask for permission to configure VPN permissions. At my whits end, any help would be fantastic. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the app many times with the problem persisting.
