Advice Request How can add safe/unsafe application list on Bitdefender ?

[dark_wielder]

Hi everyone ! I hope everybody are good.

How can I use a feature similar to Kasperky application control in BTS ? I want to restrict or blacklist an application, I do not want it to run unaware. Since Bitdefender does not have application control, I could not find how to do this. The closest possibility I know may be to use the parental control feature, I can restrict the applications from there but it does not provide a very detailed opportunity.

Check out this thread and post your message there. You may PM @Robbie he knows BTS well.

I'm sharing my light configuration for BitDefender Total Security 2020. Light enough to consume as little resources as possible without compromising security, focusing on blocking rather than disinfecting. So, let's start with the fact you have installed BitDefender Total Security, updated...

Hi! Great question, first thing I tried when I installed BitDefender.

Long story short: you can't. Online Threat Prevention has its own smart network to decide this for you. I tried to play with all modules, see if I could achieve anything like Application Control; sadly you can't. You can though add folders as protected to avoid any modifications on them.

But I understand the need for an Application Control or anti-executable, since we cannot trust a software to make those decisions for us. That's why I par BitDefender Total Security 2020 with Hard_Configurator (disallowed). Since it's just Windows policies, it's super light and compatible. You may wanna give it at try.

Thanks for meaages.

I checked Robbies Bitdefenderl Light & Secure Settings this topic and except for archive scanning feature, all are exactly the same. Even though i don't want much, I will consider Hard_Configurator.
