Why is my Mac running so slow?

Hello,

I have Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac, Version 9.2.0.12. Sometimes my Mac runs extremely slow when I first use it. It is almost unbearable.

I suspect this is due to Bitdefender either updating or scanning. I know how to do both of these processes manually. How do I know if Bitdefender is doing either an update or scan automatically. I want to verify if this is the reason my Mac is running slow at the time it happens.

Thank you,

Sheryl

  • Thank you Flexx and Alexandru_BD. I appreciate your quick response and links to helpful articles. You both shared essentially the same information so I feel confident this will help me diagnose the issue. I do meet the system requirements, as those are not too stringent. I suspect this is related to the scan and will try your troubleshooting suggestions the next time it happens. Thanks again!
