How Do I Completely Disable Bitdefender?

AngelZ

I use my computer for audio and music and I consistently stream a large number of files from disk (samples and instruments). Before I had BitDefender installed I had no issues but since I did, I'm experiencing some audible artifacts in the form of short sample cut-outs which could be due to some process interfering with the sample streaming.

Obviously my current number one suspect is BitDefender. I've tried using game-mode and disabling its functions one by one, but the problem persists; and trying to kill the "bdagent" in task manager is impossible because "Access is denied".

Is the only way to truly and completely disable BitDefender to uninstall it?

Thanks.

Ok. Having no news, I uninstalled BitDefender and determined that the problem was elsewhere.

However, I would really like to know if there is a way to disable BitDefender completely without uninstalling it. I suspect such information is relevant to the relatively few like me who use their systems to its full potential, and is probably not relevant to the majority of users. I invite the Devs to PM me to discuss this offline if necessary.

Thank you.
