Signcheck

I use Quicken and have set a password for it that has to be entered when I start it. Recently I noticed that it has been very slow and I saw that a program called "signcheck.exe" is running when I start Quicken. The program is in the BitDefender 2009 folder. Is this correct? Why is it so slow when I enter the password?

Switch to Advanced View in BitDefender and check the following:

1. Go to Antivirus > Shield > Scanner Settings; Is Behavioral Scanner enabled? (if it is please disable it and select OK)

2. Go to Firewall > Settings > Advanced Settings; Is Intrusion detection system enabled? (if it is please disable it and select OK)

Now execute Quicken and test if you still experience the slowdown when you enter the password.

Thanks.

1. Go to Antivirus > Shield > Scanner Settings; Is Behavioral Scanner enabled? (if it is please disable it and select OK)

It is not enabled

2. Go to Firewall > Settings > Advanced Settings; Is Intrusion detection system enabled? (if it is please disable it and select OK)

Intrusion Detection System is enabled. I disabled it, and the slowness when entering the Quicken password vanished. BUT I enabled Intrusion Detection System again and Quicken is still fast - the originalproblem vanished. I assume from:

An update from you in the past few days?

or

Disabling and Re-enabling Intrusion Detection got rid of a bug?

Anyway, I plan on keeping "Intrusion Detection System" enabled even though I don't completely understand what it is doing.

Nice to hear it's O.K. now. To be honest I could not say why disabling and then enabling back the IDS fixed the issue without any logs to check.

I will close this thread for now but if anything changes send me a PM and we will reopen.
