#!/bin/bash
# uninstall_bitdefender.sh
# Purpose: Remove Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac files as outlined in the vendor PDF.
# Works in Recovery mode (preferred when Finder removal fails) and can also run in normal macOS.
# Usage:
#   1) Recovery mode (recommended if Finder method failed):
#        chmod +x uninstall_bitdefender.sh
#        ./uninstall_bitdefender.sh --volume "Macintosh HD"
#   2) Normal mode (may fail due to protections, but safe to try):
#        sudo ./uninstall_bitdefender.sh

PowerShell: Avoiding double-confirm prompts in Cmdlets

A PowerShell Design Pattern: Handling Confirmation Prompts in Cmdlets
