Armor & Bitdefender - are they installed?

I'm setting up a new RAX5400, which supposedly comes with a trial of Armor, However, I don't want to use Armor, but I don't see that it's installed. I didn't find a setting for it, and all I see in the Nighthawk app is the option to install Bitdefender, as in the screenshot. So, am I correct in assuming that Armor/Bitdefender is not installed? Is there a difference between Armor and Bitdefender? Thanks.

      Thanks, but I learned that mine was enabled. I called Netgear and learned that Armor must be accessed through the Nighthawk. By doing so and going to security settings, I saw that I had to toggle Armor from on to off/
