System turnes off BitDefender security

Keep getting the message "system has turned off BitDefender Security" - how do I stopped the Samsung system weakening my devices security ?

Device - A54, Android 14.

Thanks

@Members_nw0WUko: Do you see this message while accessing a particular app or feature? If you head to Settings > Apps > BitDefender > Permissions, are all relevant permissions enabled? Also, Is 'Change system settings' set to 'Allowed'?

Please note that your Galaxy A54 comes with its own built-in security feature, powered by McAfee, which can be accessed via Settings > Device care > App protection.

I wouldn't really recommend having anti-virus installed on your A54. As it uses up a lot of your phone resources and drains the battery. It can also slow down your phone. As @AndrewL mentioned, your phone does have one built-in.

Thanks for reply.

No specific app in use or feature. Seems to be random.

I have Bidefender across all my PC's and family devices and can control from a central point so will not move away from this..

Bitdefender is not listed in the 'change system settings' - should it be ?

Thanks
