Oh Christ.... Bitdefender what have you done

[usenetopian]

I have a newly installed win 8 OS running (64 bit)

and I installed bitdefender yesterday, today it said "scan finished, 50
items discovered and deleted (or something like that)" now I can't find
where the items are quarantined

ugh.... guess I should have read the fine print (if there WAS any)

Help!

this is what I could look up, no quarantine chest though:

The following files could not be scanned due to insufficient privileges.
Password protected items can be easily scanned using contextual scan:
right-click the target item and choose “Scan” in the Bitdefender menu.
After entering the password the scanning will continue normally.

I use Bitdefender in Linux, and after the scan, it always asks
me what to do with the "detected malware". I have an option to delete,
quarantine or ignore. Can't remember if this is the default action,
I've had it for years.
I usually just tell it to ignore all the "malware" (my Nirsoft
files, 99% of the time).
It does actually detect real malware, though Avira and
Kaspersky are a tad better at that.

The others don't detect Nirsoft and other utilities as
malware. Maybe that's why it has a higher detection rate.
Like I said, I run it. It sometimes picks up something the
others don't. Usually, though, it's the other way round.
