Constant reactivation requests - Bitdefender causing

Bitdefender is somehow causing multiple requests for activation of Turbotax2025. I followed all the 'fixes' on many posts including turning off Bitdefender firewall and Virus Protection and adding exclusion to Bitdefender Firewall to multiple Intuit files. Nothing worked until I removed Bitdefender from my computer. I was able to get Turbotax2025 to work and then I declined updates and I was able to log off and then back on for a few times declining the update. This got me through April 15th but today I tried logging on and I got the activation message again. I don't really want to go through removing Bitdefender and reinstalling every time I want to use Turbotax. There must be some way to stop Bitdefender from blocking Turbotax short of uninstalling Bitdefender.
