Bitdefender blocking push notifications

Post by Todd »

Hi,

My Bitdefender Antivirus Plus has been blocking push notifications to iPhone App the past 3 weeks. Bitdefender support today confirmed there is an issue and that they will try to fix as soon as they can. It's in the Web security module which cannot be disabled by the user interface, as other modules can be disabled. The only solution currently is to uninstall BD.
I will update this group once they have resolved it.

Thanks,
Todd

Windows Defender these days is good enough, if you are paying for BitDefender I personally would save some money.

Ditto.

I used Bitdefender for years. I saw it get more an more resource heavy for what it was supposed to be doing along with packaging all the external bloatware crap I had no interest in.

Finally ditched it in favor of Windows Defender and haven't looked back..., and regained an appreciable level of performance as well.

Well, Bitdefender was never able to fix this and they are granting me a partial refund on my subscription. I had been using it for 5 years with BI without any issues.

Ditto.

At least they were responsive. Obviously not worth it for them to modify the product for an aberration associated with only one application.

My only issue in all the years I used Bitdefender was an unusual credit card charge during my last subscription renewal (which I always did manually at their reduced rate rather than use the 'auto-renewal' feature at nearly twice the cost). The charge came from their third party billing service which made it even more confusing.

Support was very cool and sorted it out quickly.
