Bitdefender Virus Shield ( From Bitdefender Windows 8 Security) Consuming The Cpu From 8.5% To 9.7%.

I've heard some oscillating noise (moving between louder and quieter) coming from my Windows 8 computer, and checked my task manager. It was BitDefender Virus Shield ( from BitDefender Windows 8 Security) consuming the CPU from 8.5% to 9.7%.

I was not updating BitDefender or scanning anything.

I'll try to restart my computer.

I've restarted my computer but the noise swinging from louder (CPU 10%) to quieter (CPU 8.1%) continues. Something is happening to BitDefender AV.

I've checked my BD Firewall Network Activity. It shows that peaks of net.activity corresponds with the louder/quieter noise of my computer. My Network Activity picture is posted above. I could not edit my previous posting. Don't ask me why.

Here is my CPU performance log. I'm really going to shut BD down.

I followed Christian's advice and disabled On access Scanning.

No more annoying noise. At least temporarily.

vsserv.exe is still going stronger. Simply unstoppable.

Something is really messed up.

Could BD technical team help me with the issue?

The problem was resolved.

It's not BitDefender's fault.

I've noticed that my CPU, Disk, Ethernet, and Firewall peaks are almost identical.

If I turn BitDefender off, the other diagrams - Disk, Ethernet, and Firewall - remains the same.

It meant that BD was simple reacting to some Ethernet/Internet activity. I had only two programs accessing the Internet - Firefox and BOX, from www.box.com , where I store my files in the cloud. I turned off Firefox, but nothing changed.

I turned off BOX software, and everything went quiet.

My issue was the BOX program going nuts, not BitDefender AV.

P.S. I like Bitdefender Antivirus.
