Update process takes 50-100% CPU for minutes and high disk writes


I just had to make this post, because... it is the reason why I removed Bitdefender free edition again on ALL my PCs. This issue is present for years and was so far never addressed. Whenever Bitdefender free edition downloads an update, the updater takes a disgustingly high amount of CPU and disk usage for MINUTES. This just can't be. The issue is present on every machine I installed it. Especially on laptops and tablets this leads to the device become horribly slow and hot. I dont see this behavior with any other antivirus product, just Bitdefender. An update process should just download the update package, copy and replace the database (single file) or replace the package installation. Not write to disk with 90mb/s for minutes and use 100%.


Optimize this, or your product is just not usable or to recommend.
