Sorry to find out that all the neat features you add just cause the system to wind up unnecessarily.

Nevertheless, I have installed bitdefender again (not without issues) and I have a constant CPU usage of 15, which elevates my CPU temps by a lot (seems like an intense process, we are talking about an excess of 15C).

After a fresh restart, bitdefender will use 0.6-2 of CPU power, just what it always has been.

Left for an hour it will stay at 15 forever, without any triggers.

Ive tried disabling all shields, tweaking settings, but this value remains throughout the day.

Please help, otherwise I will be forced to switch to yet another antivirus software (previously affected by the avast scandal).

Mainly because this might cause problems of its own and usually it will be difficult to reverse the process.

Ive had restore points fail before, so workarounds outside of bitdefender are not a solution for me.

I have received an e-mail from support staff that they are aware of this issue and this will be fixed in the upcoming patches - but when, no clue.

Lets see how long I will be able to wait before I just switch to another AVS.

I have the same issue and I am about to just uninstall the whole application.

It is not of much help if the solution to one issue causes another and basically just heats up your CPU.

Having 15-30 CPU usage for a small service that should just monitor your system health is not acceptable in any way.

Only usable with everything switched off and if you want to manually scan the system ( really) I have been working myself with software development for 25 years in embedded systems.

If we would do such crap, your car would stutter.

I guess you would be shocked if your mechanic would ask you to fix the problem by just tweaking or increasing your engine power - right So WAKE UP and do THE WORK.

Sorry for being so blunt to you, but I think in your industry (PC security) you need a wake up call and I hope it will penetrate to some of your managers so it gets some attention.

Nearly every virus protection solution out there seems to have the same problem.

I mainly purchased BitDefender because your FREE version does not seem to have this issue and it worked just fine and I was happy about that so I wanted to give it a try.
