bitdefender internet security 2016 support

The recommendation was to once again use the removal tool and re-install. The problem persisted and Bitdefender was still unable to activate its firewall and all applications and processes were slowed noticeably. Upon re-booting I noticed it took my PC an extra 30 sconds to reach my Windows desktop - quite a change from the normal 5 seconds. After following the instructions and restarting my computer to complete the repair the Bitdefender Firewall was not able to activate.Īfter some more consulting with Bitdefender support, it was determined that I should download the removal tool and re-install Bitdefender.

Going through the Bitdefender forums again, I found that running the Bitdefender 'Repair' would be my next step. To verify whether this was hardware, software, my ISP, or the Steam servers I booted up my secondary PC which does not have Bitdenfender and tried downloading the same game from Steam and found I was getting my full speed. While monitoring the download in the Steam App I noticed that my max speed was half my bandwidth. This seemed to reduce the time to 5-10 seconds for the next couple days.Ī couple days later when the problem seemed to return (slow internet and connection to site speeds) I needed to re-download a game from Steam. I check forums and the Bitdefender site and applied some changes to the firewall (setting to 'stealth' mode and un-checking port blocking). I recently purchased Bitdefender Total Security 2016 and ran into some major issues and was wondering if any of the Tom's Users/Moderators that use/recommend that product could help.Īs soon as I installed I noticed the time it took my browser(s) to load a webpage (tested sites several and used google.ca as a reference) went from immediate to taking between 10-15 seconds.
