    I'm running a trial of Bitdefender Total Security 2013 on one of my computers. For those who have used either Total Security or Internet Security, I have question. If you turn on the "Intrusion Detection System" under the Firewall settings and set it to "Normal," will you receive IDS alerts even if you have the overall configuration set to "AutoPilot"? If not, how exactly are the IDS alerts handled?

    I asked this question on the Bitdefender forum, but found it to be useless - no response in days. Thankful for a great forum like Wilders!

    Thanks. But what about in AutoPilot? I turned on IDS and set it to normal, but the overall configuration remains on AutoPilot. Will I still receive the alerts?

    I never ran my BD IS 2013 in auto pilot so I just can't tell you.

    Thanks anyway. I'm assuming I'd still get the alerts, but just wanted to make sure.

    Not that familiar with it, but if a pop-up has both allow once and allow always, you could download an antirootkit tool as they usually install drivers and then click allow once, close it and try again with AutoPilot enabled. But if it has cloud whitelisting that might make it a little harder.
