Mac OS does not require nor does it benefit from adding third party antivirus. The best antivirus app for Mac OS is Mac OS itself. By introducing third party AV apps you will only make Mac OS slow, unstable and appear to be buggy. Please locate the developers instructions to uninstall BitDefender and follow them to the letter.


In order to keep Mac OS secure, simply keep Mac OS up to date.


BTW, the same holds true for "cleaning" apps or any other types of third party "maintenance" apps for Mac OS, almost 100% of them are complete garbage and only serve to take money out of you pocket and offer no benefits in return.
