I actually uninstalled my BD trial because it started creating files in C/Windows/Debug and flagging those as malware, there is also a file called PASSWD.log that got filled with samchangepassworduser2 each time I turn on my laptop. Uninstalling BD just cleared those and PASSWD.log is always empty, maybe BD creating fake warnings to make users think the product is actively protecting them?.

Do you have BD Total Security or Internet Security? I wonder if the password vulnerability monitoring is doing this. I turned that off when I installed. I don’t want BD bloated add ons.

This is why I like the Safe Files module. It can help in the case of ransomware. Though the tests are a worst case scenario. They probably have the best web filtering at this point. In which case you probably won’t be executing these malware on your system. Bypassing the best aspect of the protection does give only a partial view, but it’s clear their signatures are not as good as they used to be. Which is sad, because if they improved in this area they would be arguably the best solution.

Oh don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it’s the best. And others outperform in on system testing.

Agree. I post the results because we have bla bla bla. for Bitdefender against Eset ,Kaspersky SEP. Not for your coment

Any security forum will always have the software wars. Fortunately, the radical fanboys seem to have disappeared from here.

I agree, we don’t need the same old arguments.

Very odd, I have not observed this behavior. I haven’t seen a single warning from BD since I installed it.

you have another user account?

 

[blackice]

you have another user account?

I do have a secondary local admin account.

I’ll double check for that folder next time I’m at my desktop.

I'm currently running a clean 2004 install so no 3rd party AV for now

Is Windows Defender still running sandboxed in 2004?

Sorry I meant when you had the issue with Bitdefender creating the password log file.

NO, I think

I had BDTS with default settings

NO, I think

Hmm looks like they turned it off again. That's better because it was really buggy when I tested a month ago.

I stand corrected. I have that PASSWD file in my debug folder. Well that's annoying.

everyone has it and it's empty by default, the problem is that with BD installed, weird things start to appear there

I should have stated I have a populated file. It has all those attempts to change in it. I believe it is related to the vulnerability scanner. Despite turning checking system passwords off it still seems to perform the check every time you log into the machine. For all users. Strangely there's a user on there from a different computer that also has BD.

you have an un user account without a password set?
