Protection - Malware/ Firmware/etc.

Kinda worrying here.

I was having issues with BitDefender so I uninstalled and reinstalled. During the reinstall my windows firewall dropped for 2-3 minutes. I freaked out, the firewall went back up after the install. I ran a full scan and even a MRT scan and found nothing. Am I being paranoid or should I be worrying?

    During the brief period when your Windows firewall was down (2–3 minutes) during the Bitdefender reinstallation, the risk of your system being compromised appears low, especially since subsequent scans with your Bitdefender product and the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool (MSRT) found no threats. This suggests that your system is likely secure.
