PC World just posted a article where Bitdefender found S5Mark VPN to actually be a rootkit and not a VPN.

I'll keep this brief because Windows has wasted a fair portion of my life for various reasons.
Is there no utility that cuts through the stupidity of not being able to TURN OFF "Read-only" folders and files contained within MY file system FORCING them to STAY write-able?

I've come across a weird issue in Windows 10 Pro x64 1703. In C:\Users\ Windows 10 repeatedly shows 2 weirdly named User folders. I look in Control Panel>User Accounts and as expected I'm the only user.
I delete these 2 bogus folders numerous times a day and they contantly re-appear...

I recently installed Bitdefender Free AV to test it out and so far I'm pleased. It's already corralled two potentially malicious items.
( My setup: Toshiba laptop. Windows 10/64, Anniv edition)
Any comments from the Forum on this program?
Link Removed Every time I reboot my laptop (windows 10 pro), it does the normal 'restarting'
then I get this pop up. If left alone it goes away, and the laptop restarts.
The file BitDefender Threat Scanner.dmp in is not readable in notepad.
Any suggestions on resolving this?
I was using Bitdefender Antivirus previously. Afterwards, I Uninstalled it. But Windows defender is not working now. I turned it on and but it turns off automatically in few seconds.

Since this past Tuesday, has anyone else noticed that Internet Explorer 11 hasn't worked properly since this past Tuesday?
Edge works fine, but if you try to go to any websites in IE including Bing, it just doesn't work.
I've run the troubleshooters for everything to do with networking.

Sorry to pester you guys, but I just did a fresh install for a friend and he wanted Bitdefender Free installed. So I did, it seems to be running fine. BD updated and told me I has 29 days left. But when I tried to register, I got an error message saying, "the connection to the server failed, the...
Question. When Avast Free is installed Chrome takes a second to open but the homepage takes 6-7 seconds to open. IE, Firefox and Opera all open in a second and the homepage pops up a second later. When Bitdefender Free, or AVG Free was installed I never had this problem. Any ideas ?

I am about to replace AVG Internet Security 2014 (paid) with BitDefender Antivirus Plus 2015 (paid), based on the good reviews of the latter.
But one of the reviews (I forget which) said that although BitDefender was better than AVG and Windows Security Essentials in general, the Windows...
