Now Dec 23, 2022.
Same problem continues to exist, won’t fully install on MacOS 13.1.
As a test, downloaded and installed retail BitDefender and it installed correctly & no issues. My older Mac’s (M1 Max & Intel) upgraded to 13.1 and BitDefender appears to still run.
New Mac’s with 13.x won’t complete the Install.
Disappointing to be paying for Armor and not up to date BitDefender Apps.

Dougcjohn, to clarify, are you saying that the older version of Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac supplied by NETGEAR Armor cannot be successfully installed on M1 hardware with macOS Ventura 13.1, and therefore cannot be manually updated to the most recent version available directly from Bitdefender?

I can confirm that on a new Macbook with M1 running Ventura 13.1 I am unable to complete the install using the Netgear Armor version of Bitdefender.
When I had Bitdefender installed on another Macbook Pro with M1 but upgraded to Ventura in continued to work. A fresh install however does not appear to work with the current version. Very frustrating and will cancel if they cannot resolve it asap.
