[QUOTE="Atlas147, post: 812537, member: 25728"] Since it came with windows it makes sense that it would be the most optimized for the OS, however any AV would slow down your system as compared to no AV at all. Personally I feel that with other 3rd party AVs like avast or bitdefender you can set it so that it only scans the file when it executes or something, I'm not sure you have the same controls when it comes to windows defender although I could be wrong. Overall if you like bitdefender free then I think you should stick to it, if it ain't broke don't fix it. [/QUOTE]
