To ensure that VMWare wasn't causing the fault or a related conflict, I completely uninstalled the VMWare player. The exact same slow speed occurs, and as soon as I turn the firewall off the file transfer completes in a flash. To test further, I ran a Windows XP system inside a VMWare Player virtual machine, and tried copying a file from the host (the same Windows 8 PC with BitDefender Internet Security 2013) to the guest (a fresh install of Windows XP inside a virtual machine with no firewall active). I have tested it multiple times, and as soon as I turn the firewall off, the dialogue box on the remote system (with the 40-minute eta) suddenly completes the transfer and the file copies successfully. As soon as I switch the firewall off, the file copy completes very quickly. If the BitDefender firewall is on, then the file is estimated to copy in about forty minutes (12 kbps).

We're using the standard Windows Explorer windows to copy files (nothing special like Teracopy). I am trying to copy files across gigabit LAN, from a new Windows 8 PC with BitDefender Internet Security 2013 to a slightly older but still very new Windows 7 PC with a properly licensed and functional copy of Norton Internet Security 2013. I purchased BitDefender Internet Security 2013 from the official BitDefender website a few days ago, and installed it this morning. I am getting the same (if not a similar) problem.
