Bitdefender slows my computers.

Bitdefender really needs to work on the way it slows computers down. Compared to Kaspersky, it is a big drag on my computers.


Both have SSDS, plenty of ram, and I have followed all suggestions by Bitdefender to speed things up.


Despite what Bitdefender may say, you are NOT light on systems.

    Edit to above. I previously had Kaspersky on my computers, and uninstalled via that program's uninstall feature.


    Bitdefender installed ok without complaint, however computer response in all areas was slow.


    I then downloaded Kaspersky's KAVREmoval tool, which obviously cleaned out all remaining fragments of the program.


    I then rebooted and did a clean install of Total Security, and am glad to report that things are now much more responsive, evn the slow shut down has gone !


    Therefore, I suggest anyone who is experiencing slowdowns with Bitdefender that you make sure you use your previous AV's dedicated removal tool.


    It really is best practice.
