Non-Apple "anti-virus" products are categorically worthless. Get rid of "Bitdefender".


Time since boot: About 20 days


Although there is no compelling need to periodically reboot a Mac in between routine software updates, it's a simple first step in resolving otherwise inexplicable trouble. Restart your Mac in the usual fashion, and determine if it makes a difference. Rule 1 of Macs is don't install junk, so rid your Mac of "Bitdefender" first. Do not reinstall it, or anything like it, ever again. Such stuff will only slow down a Mac and prevent its proper operation.
