Please confirm Bitdefender in Ventura B6

[Killerbob]

I have noticed several issues when I have Bitdefender installed, and a few people have confirmed similar problems:

• Bitdefender update no longer works. It reports an error -2, which supposedly means no connection to the internet.
• With Bitdefender installed, I have incredibly long booting times. With Bitdefender, my Mac Studio will take 100-120 seconds to get from boot to desktop, including a few seconds to type in my password. Without Bitdefender, the same process takes 15-20 seconds.

Can people with Bitdefender installed on Ventura Beta 6 please confirm if all is working fine, or if these are issues they also are experiencing? So we know if this is unique to a few Macs or general issues...

I experience the same problems: the no-update (error -2) and the long boot time (sometimes the iMac reboots itself during startup). I also have the Ventura B6 version.

I gave up on Bitdefender when it started stripping out my Crossover executables.

I dropped Bitdefender last night and installed Avast Security. Mo delays in boot, no issues whatsoever....
