I installed BitDefender in May. I had Window Live Onecare before that with absolutely no problems. Since installation of BitDefender, my computer is slow, and has considerably gotten slower the past month, to where sometimes impossible to even do anything. I took it (computer in) to my computer guy, and he told me to "Not get BitDefender again", that that was my problem.
Some of the issues I am dealing with:
Everything is slow. Internet, Email, everything.
Windows Security Alert: Malware Protection-Virus Protection might be out of date, when hit "update now" will not update.
Windows Mail very slow. Constantly stops working.
BitDefender- at least 4 to 5 times per week will go
off-then have to restart computer.
Under Windows Security Center-Says BitDefender Antisyware out of date-hit update--does nothing. Windows Defender on.
I called BitDefender, explained everything to them. They took me through some steps, changed some settings. Told me to do a deep system scan then restart computer. I did it all, and no change.
I am so disgusted with the whole mess. I ran Windows Live One Care for 2 years with absolutely no problems at all. BitDefender constantly shuts off, my computer is a turtle crawl, and I did not get any resolution calling them. After spending 3 1/2 hours doing a deep scan and restarting the computer. Results are the same......slow slow.
My computer guy checked some things out, and said it had to do with the virus protection.
Any suggestions? I thought about removing it, and installing AVG or some other free one to see what happens then. I am average when it comes to the computer, but this one I can't figure out.
Thanks
