Bitdefender Slows Internet And Other Programs

Hello all,


I just re-upped my BD install after one year of use. This time around, it's slowing down everything on my computer drastically. For example:


a) When I click to start any program such as chrome, starcraft ii, or anything of the like it takes a minimum of 10 seconds to open. My computer typically boot_s from cold start in under 20 seconds, so I am unaccustomed to such delays.


B) opening file explorer is instantaneous (no slowdown)


c) searching the web or just going to a new web address results in significant delay. Sometimes google searches freeze.


This is happening on both my install and my wife's install. We are both running 64-bit Windows 8.


Any ideas?
