Mac OS does not require nor does it benefit from adding third party antivirus. The best antivirus app for Mac OS is Mac OS itself. By introducing third party AV apps you will only make Mac OS slow, unstable and appear to be buggy. Please locate the developers instructions to uninstall BitDefender and follow them to the letter.
In order to keep Mac OS secure, simply keep Mac OS up to date.
BTW, the same holds true for "cleaning" apps or any other types of third party "maintenance" apps for Mac OS, almost 100% of them are complete garbage and only serve to take money out of you pocket and offer no benefits in return.

What "Operation" are you referring to?
What are you using to look for and delete Malware?
Most all third party AVware, Cleaning Apps and Malware removers are bad news and may cause serious damage to macOS.
My antivirus software is telling me to delete Adware.MAC.OSX.Genio.BL from my backup. The backup is on an external hard drive.
1) Does it matter that the malware is on my external hard drive?
2) When I try to delete the folder it says that it can't be deleted because backup items can't be modified.
thanks so much

Bitdefender
You can only delete things on aTime Machine Drive from within Time Machine.
Ok. I know this is an Apple forum, but my family is a split family - some Macs and some PC's. Do PC's need antivirus software?
I find Windows 10 not very needy of Anti-virus SW.
I use PCs at work and notice our System Admins still use AV software. They support about 3500 Windows 10 machines.
