Hello popcorn, File guard can cause problems because it scans every file on your computer that also does BitDefender on access scanner. It can happen that when both are scanning the same file your computer can slowdown. Right click on the red BitDefender icon near the system tray press on open advanced settings. Normally…

Hello popcorn, File guard could also be a problem that is included in spywaredoctor. If you could only disable that part and retest if the slowdown is still there. The change that I wanted you to do in BitDefender was to test if now spyware doctor and BitDefender Antivirus 2008 will work together and your browser will not…

Hello popcorn, Does spyware doctor has a feature to scan at boot? If yes try to disable it. Because BitDefender also scans at boot (before you see the welcome screen or the vista logo). Niels: SpywareDr. has what's called "RealTime Protection" which means it's always monitoring. It does not have permission to scan at…

Hi Niels: I uninstalled Spyware Doctor because it took four or five minutes for my pc to respond to ANY command, including opening my browser.

There is an extremely LOW chance that they really are malware and, as I already…

Chris5, The odds are in your favor that these files are NOT infected. And like everyone else posting here, you're dealing with the same problem. We'll just to keep our cools and wait! Wait until BD's software people DEAL WITH this problem. Users are losing their patience. I don't blame them. Who wants to spend valuable…

Today is February 5 and I just received an update from BitDefender. The problem still isn't fixed. I was forwarded to this topic because I had the same problem you all have had. Hey, I'm a just a "user" . . . trying to learn as much as possible. But "unpacking" (what the heck is that? And I don't think I want to know!) and…
