You need to add the folder location of your portable apps: Settings => Custom Locations

HarborFront, as far as something as critical as a AV software, are you using this tool for information's sake (BD needs an update) or allowing it to actually update Bitdefender without doing it manually? I'm sure it's great for the other lesser-footprint apps you listed, but I know when BD showed a Windows update, I always used to do that through the Windows update itself, rather than through BD. I had better success in doing it that way. Just curious, as I've never used this app before, but it does look intriguing :)

I'm using it to tell me whether there's a latest version of the software just like for any other app. I then do a manual update fom Windows.

At any rate BD updates won't be available immediately in my country........likely 2 to 3 weeks later
