![]() ![]() I am about ready to kick BD to the curb over this. Also, my hard drive light is going nuts so it definitely looks like it is doing some type of hidden scan It’s like BD is running some type of scan in the background that the user has no control over nor is able to see. However, at certain times, I’ll check and the same process will be using less than 1% and my idle temps will be fine.Įven turning off ALL protection, the virus shield will continue to use 16% or so of my CPU, no matter what. It is keeping my CPU temps in the mid 40’sC when they normally idle at around 30C As I type this bdservicehost/Bitdefender Virus Shield is consuming over 16% of my CPU while doing, supposedly, nothing. I need a fix or else it gets uninstalled and you lose a customer. ![]() This is the only process on the machine that Task Manager reports as having a Very High Trend. ![]() When it is not doing its intense scanning (I suppose), the machine is perfectly usable. Other work is almost pointless to attempt because there are no free CPU resources to deploy to that work. When it is doing its worst, it hogs between 90% and 98% of the CPU and the machine grinds to a halt. The process name of the culprit is always bdservicehost (Bitdefender Virus Shield). Switching on and off various features appears to make no difference to this behaviour. It seems to hog the machine for 45 minutes until its scheduled scan is complete. (Intel core i5-7600 running at 3.50GHz with 8Gb RAM, Windows 10, 5 internal hard drives - a mix of M2 and SSHDs.) It doesn't happen all the time, always just after start-up if I allow Bitdefender to do that (Protection > Antivirus > Settings > Shield > Advanced settings > Early boot scan ON), but if that setting is OFF then the problem will happen at a time of Bitdefender's choosing. Bitdefender Total Security 2019 hogs my CPU. ![]()
