On updating several apps in play store an error came up saying an app could not be confirmed as being safe, it doesn't say which one, I deleted the lastest just in case, error still comes up and without saying which app, the scan always stops halfway with the error: 'could not finish scan -105, an app you recently downloaded could not be confirmed as safe' (To reiterate I didn't install a new app, just updated existing ones), Neither Bitdefender Central or the Web page support are working??

Same problem as others. Since the last update, locate and alert options do not work anymore. Get the same "this option is disabled on your device, please enable in order to use it". Tried numerous fixes including complete uninstall an reinstall but nothing works. Shouldn't be difficult for your engineers to replicate and fix surely? **UPDATE** Problem has now been fixed with the latest update and everything is working as it should be again 😁

I have been using BitDefender for many years, and I trust it's security & safety protection for all my computers, laptops, tablets & phones! However the 'Central' app has drastically degraded since it was introduced. It no longer finds a device's location in a timely manner, when it USED to find a misplaced device in a couple of minutes, it now takes SEVERAL attempts (and an extended timeframe) for it to locate a device, IF it finds it at all. I am very disappointed in its degraded abilities.
