From the minute I installed Bitdefender 2013, Google Desktop Search is no longer able to access my gmail account for indexing.  I didn't think I was buying a firewall. :-)  Shutting Bitdefender off temporarily solves the problem, though this is not an acceptable long term solution, of course.  Do you happen to know which setting I need to turn off or what permission needs to be granted to solve this problem?  Many thanks.
