bdservicehost - Bitdefender Virus Shield @ 100% CPU on 3900x
When I first boot my PC, I can hear my fans and everything else going crazy.
I open Task Manager and It shows bdservicehost running my Ryzen 9 3900x CPU at 100% along with 2GB of ram and some Disk usage going on.
When I expand the bdservicehost, it shows Bitdefender Virus Shield. So I feel like it's a virus or something.
This last for several minutes before it drops to 0 CPU usage and everything seems normal.
Does this mean I have a virus? I don't know, but if this is normal with Bitdefender to happen, can it be healthy for my PC?

Hi @Nanja
In the past, this was a known issue, but since then has been resolved. If you haven't already, run a System Scan for peace of mind. A System Scan can take some time, but I included an article that may be helpful.
Try turning off Early Boot Scan in AV Advanced settings, restart your PC, and see if it still occurs. If this is a new install, give BD a couple of reboots and see if the issue persists. Otherwise, you may need to get a hold of Support from the link below.
Kind regards,
Scott

This fixed my problem, Thanks!
If you were interested in knowing what caused it for me, I downloaded and installed an android emulator, it asked me to restart to finish installing drivers. Then that started happening.
