Going by your Config you have BIS and KIS installed.
I dont know if your config is the same since I noticed you never replied to it but if you didn't already uninstall one of those and download CCleaner
and run a clean with that.

After that, See how it goes.
Also what are your computer specs?

Please post the following details;

What OS are you using?

What security software are you using, if any?

What are your PC Specs? (as asked by 3link9)

What are you experiencing, can you go into detail "working slowly" - Which part of the OS booting, during use, shutdown etc.. ?

What steps have your already tried/attempted?

Do you when this started occurring, was it recently or after a prolonged period of time?

Have you run a Disk Defrag for your hard-drive (C:\)?

Also I've heard mixed reviews of Bitdefender slowing down PCs. :s

Have you tried slimming down the amount of restore points via Ccleaner? Go into tools, system restore, delete all of them "except the greyed out one that you can not delete" then run an optimized defrag with Auslogic defrag..

do you experience other errors , like freezing bsods , or other types of problems??? than maybe it can be a harddrive related error ; bad sectors you can do a disc check up with CHKDSK command to be sure.

thanks

Did this happen after the installation of a program? Have you tried to go into Task manager and see what program is taking the most usage and stop it and see if that helps? I know you scanned for viruses but did you boot in safe mode and scan.

If a virus is not to blame then it could be an early sign of HDD failure or you have some errors on the disk.If an infection has been ruled out and you have cleaned all temp files and invalid registry entries than more than likely it is a Hardware problem.

Here are a few suggestions{i dont know if you have tried any of them}

*Updating all drivers including chipset

* System Restore - to a point before you noticed the slow down

* chkdsk /R

*Tested RAM, even took them out/put them in again

* Checked all cooling fans-checked CPU and HDD Temps

Try running a S.M.A.R.T tool such as HD Tune
