4.8.4. Protection at boot
It is known that many malicious apps are set to run at system startup, a fact
which can seriously damage a machine. Bitdefender Boot time protection
scans all critical system areas before all files are being loaded, with zero
impact on the system.
To disable Protection at boot:
1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface.
2. In the SAFE FILES pane, click Settings.
3. Turn off Protection at boot.
Note
Apps added to exceptions will be scanned as well and treated accordingly.
4.9. Ransomware Remediation
Bitdefender Ransomware Remediation backs up your files such as
documents, pictures, videos, or music to make sure that they are protected
from being damaged or lost in case of ransomware encryption. Each time a
ransomware attack is detected, Bitdefender will block all processes involved
in the attack and start the remediation process. This way, you will be able
to recover the content of your entire files without paying for any asked
ransom.
Turning on or off Ransomware Remediation
To turn on or off Ransomware Remediation:
1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface.
2. In the RANSOMWARE REMEDIATION pane, turn on or off the switch.
Note
To ensure that your files are protected against ransomware, we recommend
you to keep Ransomware Remediation enabled.
