Note
To keep your system protected from ransomware and other threats, we
recommend you to disable Advanced Threat Defense for as little time as
possible.
Checking detected malicious attacks
Whenever threats or potentially malicious processes are detected, Bitdefender
will block them to prevent your device from being infected by ransomware
or other malware. You can check at any time the list of detected malicious
attacks by following these steps:
1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the
Bitdefender interface.
2. In the ADVANCED THREAT DEFENSE pane, click Open.
3. Go to the Threat Defense window.
The attacks detected in the latest 90 days are displayed. To find details
about the type of a detected ransomware, the path of the malicious
process, or if the disinfection has been successful, simply click it.
Adding processes to exceptions

Defense does not block them if they perform threat-like actions.
To start adding processes to the Advanced Threat Defense exceptions list:
1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the
Bitdefender interface.
2. In the ADVANCED THREAT DEFENSE pane, click Open.
3. In the Settings window, click Manage Exceptions.
4. Click +Add an Exception.

corresponding field.

button in the right side of the interface, select it and click on OK.
