Bitdefender anti-virus conflict – 403 error

    Seems Bitdefender doesn’t like your plugin… with it active, trying to install a migrated site on a new host, after navigation to the initial install page, I then get a 403 error showing for the next step/page. I eventually debugged it to find that if I turned off my Bitdefender software I could then install as expected.

    Any idea how to resolve this without needing to turn off my anti-virus software?

    Thanks.

  • Hey @deeve007,

    In regards to Bitdenfer that is the first time, I have heard of this… It might depend on the application you are using locally, if you are using something like Xampp or Bitnami then Bitdefender might be intercepting that traffic, and most likely has issued a false positive. Here is an FAQ we have for these types of issues:

    – A scanner says that a security issue/malware/threat was detected. Is this valid?

    Hope that helps~
