how to turn off bitdefender antivirus plus 2018

So I only get noncritical updates after they have been tested as safe by non-Enterprise Windows users (who are forced to get every update). If it's related at all to Windows, I am on Microsoft Windows 10 Enterprise with delayed updates (Semi-Annual Channel). But normally I would want to use an antimalware suite for antimalware, and backup software for backups. But that was about a year ago, so hopefully Bitdefender has improved their antiransomware since then.

The reason I started using Acronis Active Protection in the first place was because Bitdefender Ransomware Remediation gave me too many false positives. I already upgraded to ATI 2020, but have not tried running Acronis Active Protection yet. But as soon as I disabled Acronis Active Protection, then Bitdefender Services would run normally. I tried rebooting multiple times, and waiting hours after booting for Bitdefender Services to run. After rebooting, Bitdefender Services would not run. It was after the most recent Bitdefender update () that required a system reboot. Did you put in a ticket and has Bitdefender or Acronis confirmed the conflict? TIA. I suppose I could untick Ransomware to see if that makes a difference but I am not there yet. The reason that I put major in quotes is that my only problem with Bitdefender that started in the last month or so is that while I have under Protection->Antivirus->Settings->Drives and Devices 'Ask Every Time' ticked when I insert a flash drive that option no longer works. Do you have a reference for this conflict? Perhaps Steve cites it in his following post but I did not have the time to go through his links. I currently have TI 2019 installed as well as Bitdefender Total Security 2020 Build 24.0.24.131 and Ransomware is ticked and I have not encountered a 'major' conflict. Thanks for replying though I must say that I was surprised to see a new post to my original almost 2.5 year old thread. I just upgraded to the free 30-day trial of Acronis True Image 2020, but haven't tried running Active Protection yet since I had the conflict with ATI 2019. Bitdefender Services would not run at all after the most recent Bitdefender software update if Acronis Active Protection was enabled, so I have disabled Acronis Active Protection and switched back to Bitdefender Ransomware Remediation. However, as of, Acronis True Image 2019 has a conflict with Bitdefender Total Security 2020 (on Microsoft Windows 10).

I actually prefer Acronis Active Protection over Bitdefender Ransomware Remediation. Do not run Acronis Active Protection and Bitdefender Ransomware Remediation at the same time, since they will conflict.
