New Update Bitdefender - BDTS updates

[Trident]

The crypto mining protection is most likely a subset of behavioural, network and browser-based heuristics/behavioural patterns. It's been released as an additional module to show users Bitdefender protects against these (marketing tactic). Nothing exciting unfortunately.

That's what I asked them also since AFAIK, Bitdefender already protects against Cryptomining through signatures and Advanced Threat Defense. But haven't received any response yet.

Thanks for asking the question.

This feature in the UI is probably only to manage cryptomining activities and allow it for users who mines crypto on their device on purpose.

That makes sense

That's what I was wondering, if it was more of an eye candy, promotional thing. We'll see, as we learn more

Crypto miners (unwanted) are malware, so when installing anti-malware protection, one automatically assumes miners will be detected and eliminated. Exceptions could be added under anti-malware as well. Bitdefender decided that it will look like innovation.

Anyone using the free version?

 

[M4RT1NE2]

From the fact that I have run out of all licences for reputable security packages except Arcabit IS - I have been using the free version of Bitdefender for a month.

Will they ever improve/fix the Game Mode is my question.

 

[SeriousHoax]

Will they ever improve/fix the Game Mode is my question.

I don't know if the issues were solved. It turns on game mode for steam games but don't know if they support other game launcher also. Epic Games should be supported since it's probably the second most popular gaming store. I usually play one game at a time if I'm playing a single player game or maybe two if I'm also playing another online game. So back when I was using BD, I would just put the game exe into game profile and be done with that. So it didn't bother me much. I was bothered by their work profile which would automatically enable work profile when I ran Notepad++ and Thunderbird (also not using anymore). But thankfully you can change what these profiles do so overall less of an issue but not ideal on default settings.
