I don't understand what you're saying. Do you mean you didn't
temporarily turn off BitDefender's realtime protection while scanning
with Avira and that this has not yet caused any problems? It *is*
causing problems already even if you don't notice them immediately. It's
slowing down the Avira scan a lot because BitDefender is unnecessarily
checking each file Avira wants to scan before it lets Avira do that and
making Avira wait before it allows access.

following the conversation are not confused and can easily separate the
response from the original)

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
