Combination of Bitdefender + Adobe Creative Cloud slows down macOS shutdown

Bitdefender: Please try installing Adobe Creative Cloud along with Bitdefender on a Mac, then restart a few times.

You'll see files created at /Library/Logs/DiagnosticReports/shutdown_stall* whenever macOS is slow to restart. These are spindump files which contain hierarchical profiling of what was consuming resources. It's pretty much always Bitdefender and Adobe Creative Cloud, and I get one every time I restart. I don't see the lengthy stalls if I install either Bitdefender or Creative Cloud alone.

Same here, thought it was a Mojave-bug, now I know better :-((( Does it actually harm system files? I see the shutdown-stall every single day since I upgraded to Mojave. Indeed: Bitdefender and Adobe CC are both installed. Read a lot of questions everywhere, but no one made this combination yet!

Greetings,

Ron.
