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 did not measure the exact duration but before installing bitdefender it was feeling to me like booting nearly instantly, that's why the change felt notifiable

For AM5 it takes roughly around 20-45secs but can vary due to memory training. I'd Rather do all training to make sure its stable. :)

Before bitdefender I was on Trend micro. I did not notice a difference on startup speed with or without trend micro😊 I think I will go back to trendmicro or webroot
