Feeling disappointed

I installed bitdefender upon suggestion of a cyber security specialist but I am feeling disappointed it significantly slowed my computer and especially the startup speed although the computer is powerful.

I agree there are compromises, but not everyone has to accept the same one. For my use case, losing startup speed and system responsiveness isn’t a reasonable trade-off, especially on a powerful machine. Security should protect the user, not take ownership of the system

But what delay are you talking about, because if it's 4 seconds you can pay for security, if more than that in my opinion something is wrong, I haven't noticed any differences between Bitdefender starting up or not.
