Slow Response of Applications
Will somebody please help? My laptop takes ages and ages to open applications, new browser tabs and websites. Quite often websites I visit give me a "session expired" message. Sometimes an application will give me a message saying "program not responding" but if I stay patient and don't close it, after some time the application opens!
Dell has ignored my support request for nearly 1 month.
Thanks in advance!

I have a Dell Inspiron 3521 Laptop. I get this message from My Dell:
Dell Notification about Antivirus Conflict: You have more than one antivirus software enabled. This can lead to conflicts that may impact performance.
I have bought and installed BitDefender Antivirus ... the conflict must be from Windows Defender. Maybe I should uninstall Windows Defender ... how do I do this?
I sent a support request on this to Dell (# 904684269, initiated on 13th Dec, 2014). There is no response from Dell Support so far ... the status on www.dell.com/.../ ; today (4th Jan, 2015) is: Open-Not Assigned
at a minimum, turn OFF Windows defender. You likely will find the slowdowns due to two antimalware programs locking the same program to scan it simultaneously.

Very sorry, I was unable to respond until now. I had already turned Defender off ... didn't seem to help. Maybe there's another anti-virus package but the Action Center doesn't list it.
But thanks a ton for responding.

Very sorry, I was unable to respond until now. I'm a little scared of trying one more anti-virus when there's already a conflict. I have paid for Bitdefender ... hence I want to retain it. If my machine continues to be slow then I'll have to give up Bitdefender.
But thanks a ton for responding.

Have you tried running malwarebytes?
