An important step in protecting your device against malicious actions and
apps is to keep the operating system and the apps you regularly use up to
date. Moreover, to prevent unauthorized physical access to your device,
strong passwords (passwords that cannot be easily guessed) must be
configured for each Windows user account and for the Wi-Fi networks you
connect to as well.
Bitdefender provides two easy ways to fix the vulnerabilities of your system:
● You can scan your system for vulnerabilities and fix them step by step
using the Vulnerability Scan option.
● Using automatic vulnerability monitoring, you can check and fix detected
vulnerabilities in the Notifications window.
You should check and fix system vulnerabilities every one or two weeks.
4.6.1. Scanning your system for vulnerabilities
To detect system vulnerabilities, Bitdefender requires an active internet
connection.
To scan you system for vulnerabilities:
1. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface.
2. In the VULNERABILITY pane, click Open.
3. In the Vulnerability Scan tab click Start Scan, then wait for Bitdefender to
check your system for vulnerabilities. The detected vulnerabilities are
grouped in the three categories:
● OPERATING SYSTEM
● Operating System Security
Altered system settings that may compromise your device and data,
such as not displaying warnings when executed files perform changes
on your system without your permission or when MTP devices such
as phones or cameras connect and execute different operations
without your knowledge.
