Virus Scanner Plus displays Safari as Unprotected even though TrafficLight is installed

Here’s a quick fix if Bitdefender Virus Scanner Plus shows Safari as an unprotected browser, even though the TrafficLight extension is installed and enabled in this browser. This issue appears after upgrading to macOS 10.14 Mojave and later.

In order to fix it, you’re going to have to grant Full Disk Access to the Virus Scanner Plus app, by following the steps below:

 

• Right now, the Bitdefender Virus Scanner Plus interface should look like this.
