3.3.6. What to do when Bitdefender detected a clean file as
infected?
There may be cases when Bitdefender mistakenly flags a legitimate file as
being a threat (a false positive). To correct this error, add the file to the
Bitdefender Exceptions area:
1. Turn off the Bitdefender real-time antivirus protection:
a. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the
Bitdefender interface.
b. In the ANTIVIRUS pane, click Open.
c. In the Advanced window, turn off Bitdefender Shield.
A warning window appears. You must confirm your choice by selecting
from the menu how long you want the real-time protection to be
disabled. You can disable real-time protection for 5, 15 or 30 minutes,
for an hour, permanently or until a system restart.
2. Display hidden objects in Windows. To find out how to do this, refer to
“How do I display hidden objects in Windows?” (p. 70).
3. Restore the file from the Quarantine area:
a. Click Protection on the navigation menu on the Bitdefender interface.
b. In the ANTIVIRUS pane, click Open.
c. Go to the Settings windows and click Manage quarantine.
