Bitdefender update 1 hour+ cannot use laptop
At 6:45 AM I was reading emails on my laptop when everything stopped. The cursor would no longer respond to the mouse. I could not launch Task Manager for 10 minutes. Now I have Task Manager running. I have shut down all apps. BitDefender is the culprit with high memory and disk usage.
I went for my morning walk. At 7:55 AM my laptop is still unusable. I attempted to open an Excel spreadsheet. 10 minutes later still not open. This is infuriating. I need to work. Fortunately I have a second laptop that I can use for email and browser.
Why does Bitdefender update take over an hour? Why doesn't BitDefender do updates when computer is not in use? Why do I need a second computer if I have Bitdefender? Why doesn't Bitdefender consider that its customers need to use their computer for things other than running Bitdefender?
