Had this same problem with the 2012 version. I really would like to not have this product slow down my start up time so significantly.
This application took longer than usual to start up, resulting in a performance degradation in the system startup process:
File Name : vsserv.exe
Friendly Name : Bitdefender Security Service
Version : 16.16.0.1341 95224
Total Time : 5179ms
Degradation Time : 2679ms
