Verification warnings for Bitdefender Endpoint Security Tools for Windows

This section informs you of the warnings related to Bitdefender's identity, which cannot be verified for a series of GravityZone agents.

After September 17, 2018, when using or trying to install older versions of the Bitdefender security agent for Windows, you may receive some errors and warnings about identity trust (see the pictures below), and the operating system may prevent you from installing the kit. This issue occurs because the kit you are trying to use is old and the security certificate used to sign it is no longer valid.
