r/BitDefender

i was doing some stuff and suddenly bitdefender popped up saying there were a bunch of threats that needed quarantining so i let it go at that. what i didn't expect is that it immediately started to completely fill my C drive. i had to forcefully stop it at some point because it'd run out of space (and i'm pretty sure the program itself got confused, because it just wouldn't stop, so i had to close it) and then i went to check the quarantine in the program and it says there's nothing, but there's a 25GB file in bitdefender's quarantine folder in my C drive now. what do i do about it? i kinda can't afford to have it there, i need the disk space. should be noted that most of the other files in the folder aren't even 1gb, it's just this one motherfucker that's way too fat

I closed my PC, reopened it, it performed a Windows update and then Bitdefender gave me this notification. Is this a false positive? I scanned the file with malwarebytes and malwarebytes didn't find anything wrong with it. Although I tried uploading the file to virustotal and it was stuck at hash 0%.

update I tried scanning the folder the file is in with malwarebytes to see if it would find weird stuff in it malwarebytes didn't find anything but upon doing the scan Bitdefenders real time protection also detected amifldrv64.sys as potentially unwanted.

I tried using PowerShell/CMD commands as admin to get the sha256 of the files but it said access refused. Later, I decided to temporarily re enable the Internet on my computer to check for Bitdefender updates and after doing so I scanned the files it had previously blocked with real time projection and the scan was clean however this does not remove the fact that it seems odd that the sha256 can't be viewed.
