27. Removing malware from your system
Malware can affect your system in many different ways and the Bitdefender approach
depends on the type of malware attack. Because viruses change their behavior
frequently, it is difficult to establish a pattern for their behavior and their actions.
There are situations when Bitdefender cannot automatically remove the malware
infection from your system. In such cases, your intervention is required.
