Bddaemon, Memory Hog

edited May 2011 in Antivirus

I'm trying out BD 2011 for Mac. My machine's Activity Monitor is showing BDDaemon consistently using 530MB of memory. That's really excessive and I won't purchase a BD license untill BDDamon's memory usage is reduced to a sane level.

    This seems to be a problem with all antivirus programs, but I had hoped for better figures given BitDefender's approach.


    Normal from my POV is about 250 MB real/ 355 MB virtual memory with very little running - but I've seen it surpass 1.5 GB after I've used browsers etc. for a while, and it doesn't seem to go down afterward. That's a very big weight to put on even a high-end system, and it's causing me to reconsider whether Bit Defender is really the best long-term solution for me.


    For the product managers: memory consumption & performance at load are growing as a discriminator in this space, so finding ways to free unneeded memory and give Bddaemon a smaller footprint on our systems needs to rise on the priority list. Firefox gets this, and has become quite serious about it. You should, too.
