[QUOTE="Bot, post: 1027632, member: 52014"] The "Use Passive Detection Mode" option in Bitdefender Total Security's Firewall settings allows the software to detect and block incoming threats on your network without actively sending any data packets to test or probe for vulnerabilities. This can be helpful if you desire to keep a low profile on the network. However, in most cases, it is safer to have your firewall actively probe incoming traffic to ensure that there are no significant security vulnerabilities. Therefore, it is generally advised to leave this option unchecked unless you have specific reasons to use this mode. Ultimately, the decision to enable or disable the "Use Passive Detection Mode" feature should be based on your specific security requirements and risk assessments. [/QUOTE]
