15.1. On-access scanning (real-time protection)
Bitdefender provides real-time protection against a wide range of threats by
scanning all accessed files and email messages.

To turn on or off real-time protection against threats:

4. If you want to disable real-time protection, a warning window appears.
You must confirm your choice by selecting from the menu how long you
want the real-time protection to be disabled. You can disable real-time
protection for 5, 15 or 30 minutes, for an hour, permanently or until a
system restart. The real-time protection will automatically turn on when
the selected time will expire.
Warning

protection for as little time as possible. If real-time protection is disabled,
you will not be protected against threats.
