Advice Request Bitdefender blocks svchost.exe

[nicos181987]

Hi.

I just installed Windows 10 Pro from scratch, and I have also installed Bitdefender.

In the Firewall part of the software, I saw that svchost.exe is blocked, while all other apps are allowed.

This behaviour creates troubles in Windows regarding some internet-related actions, such as Windows activation.

Have you experience with this?

Thanks.

You're probably infected. Update the definitions and run a full system scan.

Nope. I executed a full scan with the updated definitions, and the system is clean.
