iMac OS Mojave System Preferences -missing "Files and Folders' in Privacy tab I am running Mojave on my iMAc. This week I upgraded to Catalina but following a catalog corruption issue with Lightroom Classic (an external hard drive not recognised) I restored via a Tie Machine backup back to Mojave. I was advised on a Lightroom forum to check in Mac/System Preferences/ Privacy to see what was authorised in "Files and Folders". BUT in this panel I see only ......Accessibility, Full Disk Access, Automation.... - see screenshot attached. Is this an issue? How to correct?

Bit Defender installed as system Hi, I am trying to rid myself of Bitdefender and cannot delete the Bitdefender in folder in Library/Application Support It has been installed with system only access. I never gave it this level of access, it was installed as admin. How do I deinstall the folder - I could go in as sudo but I am not very conversant with the command line so help would be appreciated. BTW I am deinstalling because my Bitdefender folder(this one ) was accessed this Sunday and I guess (?????) it was Bitdefender because the widget has disappeared from the tool bar. As a final question -- is there a reliable Virus checker you can use on a Mac as I often use it to check imported zip files and I like to check before opening.

Correct, that is only available Starting with macOS 10.14, Mojave.

Is this the point I should advise you to uninstall Sophos, or should I wait until it causes problems?
