Files with .bvd extension are BitDefender vault containers. BitDefender antivirus software generates them. To open and access .bvd files, use the BitDefender File Vault application.
The .bvd format is proprietary to BitDefender. It is used to store protected user data like passwords and encrypted files. When opened, vaults appear as logical drives in My Computer.
Windows doesn’t recognize the .bvd extension by default. If you double-click a .bvd file, Windows asks you to select an app to open it.
To associate .bvd files with BitDefender File Vault, right-click on a .bvd file. Select “Open with” and choose the File Vault app. You can also associate .bvd in the Windows Registry but this is more difficult.
Other programs like Bitdefender Total Security can also open .bvd files. Overall, BitDefender software is the most common tool for handling this format. The .bvd file type falls under the Encoded Files category which has 236 file types.
