The General module provides information on the BitDefender activity and the system.
Here you can also change the overall behavior of BitDefender.
To configure the general settings:
1. Open BitDefender, click Options in the upper-right corner of the window and
choose Expert View.
2. Go to General > Settings.
● Enable password protection for product settings - enables setting a password
in order to protect the BitDefender configuration.
Note
If you are not the only person with administrative rights using this computer, it is
recommended that you protect your BitDefender settings with a password.
Type the password in the Password field, re-type it in the Retype password
field and click OK.
Once you have set the password, you will be asked for it whenever you want to
change the BitDefender settings. The other system administrators (if any) will
also have to provide this password in order to change the BitDefender settings.
Important
If you forgot the password you will have to repair the product in order to modify
the BitDefender configuration.
● Show BitDefender News (security related notifications) - shows from time
to time security notifications regarding virus outbreaks, sent by the BitDefender
server.
● Show pop-ups (on-screen notes) - shows pop-up windows regarding the product
status. You can configure BitDefender to display pop-ups only when the interface
is in Basic / Intermediate View or in Expert View.
● Show the Scan Activity bar (on screen graph of product activity) - displays
the Scan Activity bar whenever you log on to Windows. Clear this check box if
you do not want the Scan Activity bar to be displayed anymore.
Note
This option can be configured only for the current Windows user account. The Scan
activity bar is only available when the interface is in Expert View.
