I just downloaded and installed the latest version of BitDefender - I am using the trial version on Windows Vista.
I noticed that my intenet speed went quite slow after I installed it. I do not have web traffic monitoring on so not sure why this is being affected.
Second thing I noticed is it is continuosly scanning files even when I am not doing anything. The statistics section under scanned files shows this files being scanned all the time. Is there a way to turn this off?
Second problem I have faced is that the Flickr Uploader tool just won't upload. As soon as I turned off the Anti-Virus real time protection it started working again. I have tried the anti-virus real time protection with every setting. Tried the permissive level as well but the upload tool either doesn't work or uploads at a snail's pace. I have allowed the tool via the firewall. Plus it does work with the scanning turned off. So any ideas on what setting needs to be adjusted?
I really don't want to turn off real time protection - I mean what is the use of having an antui-virus installed if I do. But is this the reason why files are being scanned at all times?
