Remove, or make optional, the Bitdefender "safe" label in Email Protection
For me, having the "Dangerous" label is all that is required. By definition, all other incoming emails are safe. I don't like getting every single email tagged with a useless label.

How do I actually turn off URL/IP logging features?
I would like Bitdefender to stop all parsing of URL/IP for privacy reasons. I turned off the entire "Web Attack Prevention" feature, but it still seems to not only be parsing the URLs, but sending them to centralized logging/alerting in bitdefender central. For example, you can go to any known phishing site and it will not…
