Can't Get Rid of Detected Item in List (It's Safe)

Using BitDefender Total Security on Windows 10. I have Advanced Threat Defense turned on, and it recently blocked a file on my desktop by mistake (was a simple Photoshop preset it thought was suspicious). I easily restored it from quarantine and allowed it in the exclusion list. So no issue there. But now, in the Advanced Threat Defense > Threat Defense list, it has a permanent entry about this file (saying We protected you against 1 threat in the last 90 days - "photoshop present" has been blocked). Why can't I clear this entry? I don't want this in the list permanently, and when I clear ..read more

Lightspeed Filter Agent Removal

[This is my first thread so let me know if I am formatting this wrong] Hello! Hope you're having a great day! I just need some help with removing/bypassing Lightspeed Filter Agent. My "friend" (more like a tech-savvy antagonist) thought it would be funny to install it onto my computer. He was a technology admin at a school, so I'm assuming he installed it like a school admin would. I would as him, but he just recently died in a car crash. Anyway, the program is installed in C:\ProgramFiles on my computer. I need admin access to delete the file. I don't know how to get rid of it, and I don't ..read more

Hey, a bit of a serious question here and it's probably not in the right spot so sorry about that. I want to have as few identifying pieces of information here as possible but I recently became aware that my ex had been having all my emails forwarded to them by use of a filter in Gmail. I have removed the filter, changed all associated passwords and the password to my password manager just in case so I'm fairly sure I've put a stop to it though it's obviously still scary. We've been broken up for about 2 years now and there were a whole lot of stalking and harassment issues from around that t ..read more

Bitdefender Antivirus Plus vs. Internet Security (moving from Norton Deluxe 360) ?
Tom's Hardware » Antivirus / Security / Privacy

3w ago
Hello, I have been using Norton 360 Deluxe for 11 months. It is time to consider whether to buy the latest version or change to another software. It is quite good but it often sends me emails and pop up messages on my screen about additional paid services. Kind of annoying. I chose it last year over Bitdefender because of unlimited VPN. However, I installed NordVPN so I don't need Norton's unlimited VPN feature. In terms of security and virus catching, is Norton or Bitdefender better? I can get Bitdefender Antivirus Plus on sale but it lacks the "Privacy Firewall" feature that Bitdefender Int ..read more
