Just recently installed the total Bitdefender and I find the PC suddenly has really slowed down.

This is disappointing as my DSL provider finally got me from .1.4 MB speeds to 3.3 MB
and now I am slower.

I have run the deep scan, and no viruses, and disk defragmenter. I do still my Sygate firewall installed.

Could it be the Bitdender causing this?

start>run>msconfig>list me all the things checked under the last two tabs, startup and services.

Services has a ton of stuff checked off. How can I list?

Startup checked are:

SMC sygate
CT helper
SBDrvdet
PPactivedetection pest patro;
bdswitsch - bit defender
IEShow - bit defender
bdadent bit defender
appstart
webshots

Your PPActiveDetection. is linked to..
eTrust EZ Armor\eTrust PestPatrol\PPActiveDetection.exe
Do you have eTrust EZ Armor installed on your system?

Whatever is listed under Services are best left alone.

Pestpatrol is installed from Computer Associates

updates are at my-etrust.com for the app

Bitdefender inclues an active Spyware scan..I believe.
Does your Pest Patrol also have an active scan?

Yes Pestpatrol is loaded on startup and gives active protection

Hi I do not use Bitdefender or Pest Patrol .
But if they are both running Spyware protection while online they may be conflicting with each other. Just a guess.
Try stopping one of them from running.

Take a screenshot and upload it.

I use BitDefender..works great here!

I suggest you uninstall your other Firewalls like Sygate for it may have conflict issue!
