[fixed] BDCoreIssues process, high CPU
On two of my Macs the BDCoreIssues process has started running almost continuously, consuming 95+% CPU per process, with apparently quite a lot of disk reads too. This all seems to have started in the past week or so on both - was there some update that went out recently that could be causing this?

I am having the same issue. I did try to uninstall Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac (manually removed everything in /Library/Bitdefender after a reboot so that BDCoreIssues and related processes were gone. After which I reinstalled the software hoping this will resolve the problem but it's still hammering my CPU via BDLDaemon (44 to ~70% CPU) or BDCoreIssues (almost constantly at ~70%) for a very long time.
I'm on mac OS 10.12.1 (16B2555), using Antivirus for Mac v5.1.0.8. Autopilot is on and I have an active yearly subscription.0 -
More data on this: It definitely seems to have started after the last restart-required Bitdefender update (I'm also on v5.1.0.8). Additionally, there are thousands of these messages in the system console logged by BDCoreIssues

I can confirm the same:

I did sample the process and checked the open descriptors:

I am having this issue on both my 2016 MacBook Pro 13" and 2015 MacBook Pro 13". This process has been eating tons of CPU time on both computers. This issue is so bad it is killing my laptops batteries and I have had to uninstall BitDefender. Disabling AutoPilot does not idle the process out. The console log is blasting hundreds of these non-stop.

I've got exactly the same problem on two Macs and I've logged a ticket too. It's now meant that Time Machine backups are never completed unless the product is uninstalled. This is the reason I moved away from another vendor to BD after the Sierra update as Sophos had a similar problem.
As well as the CSSM Exception message, this is followed, and repeated by MacOS error: -67050 and trustd cert [2]: AnchorTrusted =(leaf)[force]>0 console errors here.0 -
Same problem here. It just started about 1-2 weeks ago. I tried a complete uninstall and reinstall of BitDefender, and that did not help. BDCoreIssues is killing the battery life on my MacBook Pro. And the processor is running really hot. Whatever BitDefender did with their last update, they need to get this fixed.0 -
I have this problem too, the support agent knows nothing about it, and I can't use the directions above, when I hit COMMAND-SHIFT-D all I get is a sound, nothing else. The BitDefender profiler tool does not accept a password. I'm stuck. and I need HELP! Will email Support, hope that helps.0 -
Same problem, initially masked by a similar high CPU usage issue with MS Outlook and MS Word (since fixed by turning off "auto-detect language"). Now BDCoreIssues is consistently highest CPU process. Really looking forward to solution.0 -

While I recognize what is required to build a new release with such a fix, can you give us an approximate timeframe (few days, few weeks, or more than a month) on when this fix release will be available (or when you might release it to a few of us for beta testing purposes)?
Thanks in advance ....... Neil0 -
Hi,
Unfortunately an ETA is not available yet, but we will post back as soon as the fix is implemented by automatic update of Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac.

Same issue, although using up around 50-60% CPU. Given the thread above and no firm resolution ETA from Bitdefender, uninstalled AntiVirus for Mac, even though I've prepaid for a year. If this issue is not resolved soon, what a black mark for the company0 -
Ditto. Same high CPU usage problem as reported by others. Thanks for a fix soon. BTW, love the product.0 -
Same issue. Posting so will be notified of update. Please hurry! :-)0 -
Hello all,
This issue is now fixed in the latest version 5.1.19, live for Bitdefender Antivirus for Mac. Bring up Bitdefender and choose Actions on the menu bar > Update Virus Signature > click on Restart Now to finalize the update.
Hope you have a nice week ahead!0 -
