So you want opinions based on UNKNOWN claimed malware.  Uh huh.  Could
be the "malware" was cookies.  Could be the malware were PUPs (probably
unwanted programs - but quite often those are utilities you chose to
install, like Nirsoft tools).  Could be a lot of possibilities.  You
didn't mention what got reported as bad by BitDefender.  Since you
removed them now you cannot report them.  Just because anti-malware says
there is something doesn't make it true.  Perhaps you just ended up
removing a bunch of PUPs (their ranking) that you really did want.
