4.6.2. Using automatic vulnerability monitoring
Bitdefender scans your system for vulnerabilities regularly, in the background,
and keeps records of detected issues in the
Notifications window.
To check and fix the detected issues:
1. Click Notifications on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface.
2. In the All tab, select the notification regarding the Vulnerability scan.
3. You can see detailed information regarding the detected system
vulnerabilities. Depending on the issue, to fix a specific vulnerability
proceed as follows:
● If Windows updates are available, click Install.
● If automatic Windows update is disabled, click Enable.
● If an app is outdated, click Update now to find a link to the vendor
webpage from where you can install the latest version of that app.
● If a Windows user account has a weak password, click Change password
to force the user to change the password at the next logon or change
the password yourself. For a strong password, use a combination of
uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers and special characters (such
as #, $ or @).
● If the Windows Autorun feature is enabled, click Fix to disable it.
● If the router you have configured has set a weak password, click Change
password to access its interface from where you can set a strong one.
● If the network you are connected to has vulnerabilities which may
expose your system at risk, click Change Wi-Fi settings.
To configure the vulnerability monitoring settings:
