False-positive ploy to sell Bitdefender Box
groucho7July 10, 2017
Pros
May occasionally find true vulnerabilities
Cons
When I ran Bitdefender Home Scanner on my system it found three vulnerabilities on my router and said that updating the router software might fix the problem. After the firmware was updated by the service provider Home Scanner found no more vulnerabilities. Sounds good, right? Well, a friend of mine has the exact same router, and it already has the same updated version of the software as mine. Nonetheless, Home Scanner found the same three vulnerabilities on this router and made the same recommendation. However, this router's software is already up to date. It thus seems that Home Scanner finds non-existent vulnerabilities in order to sell the Bitdefender Box.

I recommend avoiding this software
