Since installing Bitdefender 2013 i've noticed a HUGE decline in available system resources. When my computer is idling or if I have code brewing in the background bitdefender starts hogging around 70-90% of my CPU and HDD for passive scanning. I've turned down the scanning sensitivity in the hopes that would alleviate some of the resource waste, but it really hasn't made a noticeable impact.
The issue is becoming so bothersome that i'm considering just getting rid of Bitdefender even though i've paid for a year's service. It's using more resources that Window 7's file indexing service ( which I have mostly turned off.)
Is there a way to minimize this program's significant impact on my computer's resources WITHOUT having to add 3/4s of my file list to the excluded extensions module?
Attached is resources overview of how much HDD activity bitdefender is generating.
