What should I do if Bitdefender is down for me?

Check whether the app still works with the tool disabled. A password manager or VPN sitting in the request path fails in ways that look like the site being down. Sign out and back in. Most of these tools hold a session token that expires quietly and returns errors rather than a login prompt. Switch server or region if the tool offers one. A single overloaded endpoint is far more common than a whole service failing. Update the browser extension and the desktop app separately. They ship on different release trains and an old extension breaks against a new backend.

Is Bitdefender down for everyone or just you?

Our automated checks are reaching Bitdefender normally right now, and it answered our last one in 136ms. That makes any trouble you are hitting more likely to be local to your connection, account or network than a full outage, which usually means you can fix it from your end.
