Feedback: Updates Use Noticable Cpu Cycles
Really like what I am seeing so far, with a few reservations. I notice when the updater kicks it, it noticeably slows down the machine. I notice this b/c my browser locks up for an unusual length of time and the computer becomes unresponsive to my command to minimize the browser or do anything else for 10-30 secs or so. Using an old 1st generation intel dual core labtop with Windows 7 installed on it. Having used it for a long time, I am sensitive to any unusual fluctuations in performance. The only thing I can go on is check the update time in bitdefender and when the momentary pause takes place.
Maybe Bitdefender was updating to a new version? does the same thing happens if it is just a definition update? I really can't say. I assume the program will be updated with frequency given how early it is in its life cycle, so maybe in time I can describe the situation with greater clarity.
