I was also very recently in touch with the ESET people, who had a similar issue in their security software but fixed it in the latest version (which is why ESET was recently removed from this list), so I would tend to believe that this issue should be addressed by the Bitdefender people.Bitdefender is a cyber security company founded in 2001, in Bucharest, Romania.
