This is weird because there is nothing going on involving the network much less the internet. I turned BitDefender back on, and it returned to S-L-O-W mode. I finally reached the point of disabling BitDefender, not expecting any better results. Checked for recent installs: No recent driver updates, no Windows 1803 yet, so lacking anything else to try, I started disabling running programs one at a time.

When she has a problem, it isn't going to be something simple like too high a resolution or some minor user error. She's technically adept, knows about resolution and image sizes, and at expert at scanning having done it for years on the same system configuration with plenty of memory. She complained that it look 30 minutes after our Microtek scanner completed its scanning for the image to show up in Photoshop. I got home last night, and my wife was scanning some photos in. I finally just turned off BitDefender and turned on Windows Defender with the latest updates until BitDefender figures it out.Īnyone else run into this with a paid BitDefender? We're using an enterprise version of BitDefender at work and I haven't heard a single complaint across about 100 users. I could get the sites to work if I added them to exceptions in BitDefender. I finally narrowed it down to BitDefender Free update that just came out. Strangely, they had no problem getting to the very same URLs in Firefox or IE. One was our business site, which has the latest TLS version, but it happened on secured sites for banking, but not Amazon, for example. About half the HTTPS sites weren't responding, so it wasn't an outright issue with HTTPS.

When I checked it out on my wife's machine, sure enough, they were right and the same sites presented a problem on each of three systems. So, not really a work issue, but my relatives using BitDefender Free all contacted me this weekend saying they could not get to certain internet sites.
