Thanks for the help. There was no other AV installed but it seems that BD support took care of the problem. Thanks again.

I just installed BD Free on a new install for a customer that always uses BD Free, but when I went to register I got an error message saying, "the connection to the server has failed, the product can not be activated". Everything seems to be working fine including BD updating, but there's only...

Never thought of that, thanks.

Thanks a lot theunliked for the quick reply. I'v never had any major problems with Avast a while back, but it did make Chrome take a while to open. But every machine is different. Thanks again.

Some elderly people need an easy to use AV that won't cause slowdown. Bitdefender Free, Panda Free, 360 Total Security Essentials. I personally use BD Free, but I told them I would come to the experts. Couldn't find any so you'll have to do. (Joke) ;)

Not sure what version of windows he's using because he repairs the machines and only uses some off line or for certain programs, But I believe it's a P4, 3 GB of RAM and Roboscan was light and never slowed the system down.

A friend installed Roboscan Free a week ago. I told him that it hasn't been updated since 2013, but he said the virus definitions are still being updated as of 9/3/15. Is he safe using that program if the definitions are being updated ?

The WOT uninstall may explain to disk space, but if you have Malwarebytes AntiMalware, run a scan with it in Safe Mode, that usually will find things that a standard scan will miss.

Hey kol, go to Internet Options, click the Programs tab and set IE as you default browser, then click the General tab and delete the homepage that is listed, and type in the homepage url you wish, such as www.google.com, then click apply. after that I would run a disk check just to be certain .

Thanks everyone, I'm just going to leave SAS alone. And I did ask Bitdefender but they still haven't got back to me. Thanks again guys.

Guys, I have one anti virus installed, Bitdefender Free. I just wanted to know why Bitdefender considers SAS Free (an antispyware) incompatible, that way I definitely know why I shouldn't install it. Thanks for the help. Until next time, be cool.

Hey smorizio, I know about the one av rule, but SAS Free is an antispyware/anti-malware sort of in same category as Malwarebytes,, neither of those programs contain an anti virus and are supposed to be run as an on-demand scanner in addition to your anti virus. I've use both SAS Free and...

Hey guys, when downloading Bitdefender Free it tells you to uninstall incompatible software like Superantispyware Free. Is it safe to reinstall SAS Free after BD is installed and running ? SAS Free has no realtime scan, so I can't see what problem would occur. Any ideas ?

Hey LilTwist thanks for the quick reply. I think he may have tried AVG in the past, but I'll let him know your advice. Thanks adain.

Hey guys, which is better on a low spec computer, around 2.5 gb RAM. Panda Free, Bitdefender Free, 360 Internet Security or Avira Free ? Thanks for your input. A friend that can't upgrade at the moment was using Avast Free but it caused drastic slowdown and Immunet worked great but he wanted...
