Spoke too soon, disregard my comment. Computer still slows down after it starts a background scan. Back to switching off autoscan for now.

Got this update from the support call: In order to optimize the resources usage, Bitdefender uses a technology called Smart Database - it indexes all the files and does not scan them if the file have never been accessed since the last scan. This database is created by scanning, the Auto Scan being the primary factor. Given…

Just to confirm, once autoscan is switched off I have not experienced this issue so bitdefender support you need to look at what is happening after the software downloads its new daily definitions. During the 2nd autoscan causes this issue.

Happens during the 2nd autoscan for me. Opened a support call about it

Seems to occur on my machine when the computer attempts it scan after being switched on in the morning, probably after it has retrieved its daily definition updates.

I have noticed the same thing. ###### annoying having to restart your computer everyday.

I think I have this same issue as well, checked my firewall settings and they are already as instructed. I only started noticing this issue as soon as I uninstalled the old version and installed the new one.
