6.1.3. I can no longer use an app
This issue occurs when you are trying to use a program which was working
normally before installing Bitdefender.
After installing Bitdefender you may encounter one of these situations:
● You could receive a message from Bitdefender that the program is trying
to make a modification to the system.
● You could receive an error message from the program you're trying to use.
This type of situation occurs when Advanced Threat Defense mistakenly
detects some apps as malicious.
Advanced Threat Defense is a Bitdefender feature which constantly monitors
the apps running on your system and reports those with potentially malicious
behavior. Since this feature is based on a heuristic system, there may be
cases when legitimate apps are reported by Advanced Threat Defense.
When this situation occurs, you can except the respective app from being
monitored by Advanced Threat Defense.
To add the program to the 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.
5. Enter the path of the executable you want to except from scanning in the
corresponding field.
Alternatively, you can navigate to the executable by clicking the browse
button in the right side of the interface, select it and click on OK.
6. Turn on the switch next to Advanced Threat Defense.
