uninstalling bitdefender and installing MSE instead solved all the problems
the file in the external HD is gone now
and i don't get any messages before i shut down : )
but now after i installed MSE i cannot turn windows defender on
is that normal ?
That's perfectly normal.
Windows Defender and Microsoft Security Essentials
Q: Does installing Microsoft Security Essentials disable Windows Defender
A: Microsoft Security Essentials should disable Windows Defender on Vista and Windows 7 and uninstall it from XP. In some cases, this does not happen automatically.
Glad it worked - good example of how a lightweight free AV can make a difference.
In addition to MSE with WIndows Firewall, for extra protection use Malwarebytes on-demand scanner.
Run full scan monthly. I uploaded it here for you:
