Disable Real-time Protection
You must confirm your choice by selecting from the menu how long you want the
real-time protection to be disabled. You can disable real-time protection for 5, 15 or
30 minutes, for an hour, permanently or until the system restart.

against malware threats.
8.2. On-demand Scanning
The main objective for BitDefender is to keep your computer clean of viruses. This is
first and foremost done by keeping new viruses out of your computer and by scanning
your e-mail messages and any new files downloaded or copied to your system.
There is a risk that a virus is already lodged in your system, before you even install
BitDefender. This is why it's a very good idea to scan your computer for resident
viruses after you've installed BitDefender. And it's definitely a good idea to frequently
scan your computer for viruses.
To configure and initiate on-demand scanning, click Antivirus>Scan in the settings
console. The following window will appear:
