The tooltip on the system-tray icon says "There are no issues affecting the security of your computer". "Oh good" I say. Now I open the BitDefender window and there I see "There are three security-related items which need your attention" What? Imagine how confusing that could be to an inexperienced user. I'm not inexperienced, I just find it annoying and stupid. Consequently I've bought a rival product which doesn't contradict itself. A stupid mistake like this is causing Softwin and their agents to lose sales. While BitDefender provides strong protection, one aspect of the interface is glaringly contradictory.
