If you're still experiencing the same issues i suggest you backup any important data by whatever means you have,format the drive and reinstall the operating system.

You do have Authentium AntiVirus running on your pc so there' no real need to reinstall Bitdefender if you don't want.
Its not a good idea to have more than one antivirus program installed on your computer.
Each program may interpret the actions of the other as viral, therefore giving you false virus warnings about virus-related activities.
It could also lead to system slowdowns and other problems within the operating system,due to the two conflicting with each other.
If you do want to reinstall Bitdefender,you should uninstall/remove Authentium AntiVirus first.

When you've finished you should then go to Windows Update and install all the latest important/high priority updates including Service Pack 3.

You should then take the time to read and follow the information found in the links below,to help you prevent any possible future infections and stay safe and secure while online:
