The .bvd file extension is associated with Bitdefender, a security software vendor whose products protect Microsoft Windows computers against viruses and other malware.
A Bitdefender vault is an encrypted data container for storing private files. The contents are protected with a password and are not intended to be accessed as ordinary files in Windows Explorer.
The format belongs to the File Vault feature of Bitdefender software for Microsoft Windows. A compatible Bitdefender installation manages the vault and provides access to the files it contains.
Open a .bvd file with Bitdefender File Vault in a compatible Bitdefender installation on Microsoft Windows. Use the File Vault controls to open or mount the container, then enter its password.
Standard archive utilities and text editors cannot normally open this format. Do not rename the file extension in an attempt to access its contents.
There is no general-purpose conversion from the Bitdefender vault format to another container format. Vault files are not meant to be converted directly, and because they may contain files affected by viruses, you should not attempt to convert them.
To recover the contents, open the vault with compatible Bitdefender File Vault software and copy the unlocked files to a normal folder. The recovered files can then be saved or converted individually using applications that support their own formats. A password or compatible Bitdefender software is required to access the vault.
