I scanned my computer yesterday, and today, when I logged in, I get a message saying that I haven't scanned my computer in 82 days. The thing is, this is not the first time it happens.

Should I be worried?
 
I see no reason to be concerned about that apparent software bug.

Consider using (free version) Malwarebytes instead. It will work much better than Bitdefender.
Thanks, I definitely will. Can I ask you other question. It's has nothing to do with this thread.

Sometimes when I turn on my computer I see a message that says: "you've tried your password many times ....." Is this normal?

Do you see that message as soon as you turn on the computer? If so, that doesn't sound normal. Is it possibly in relation to an app you have installed? What third party apps do you have installed?

As soon as I turn on my computer in the morning.
