Bitdeffender is blocking xlights 4.2.1
« on: August 18, 2015, 08:47:44 PM »
I keep having my (free version) bitdefender block my ability to open xlights.   I have to go to bitdefender and unblock frequently.  Any ideas on how to do this "once" so I don't have to do it over & over again??
Thanks!!!

Hi Dan

I don't know much about bit defender . But normally , there should be an option to add Trusted programs to a list ? Is it being blocked when you are trying to Output to lights or just when you are executing it ?

Thanks for your replies!   I have a free version of bitdefender.   I was asking if anyone knew some tricks that I am not seeing, as I don't see a way to do this "once & done"...   This is happening when I am trying to open up the xlights executable.
