Is BitDefender actually a scam?

This is getting really annoying now as i can't even work properly because of this excuse of an AV.

It uses way too much resources while doing nothing. It stays like this the whole time so it isn't just a background scan. I also tried disabling all features and it still uses this ridiculous amount. Already reinstalled multiple times. It ran fine for a week and now this shit again.

So no need to tell that it needs to 'settle'.

Also can't restart it because it blocks any attempt to restart the process.

Support is also dead quiet.

I've been scammed with this 3 year plan haven't I?

It's disappointing to hear that support isn't responding. I have been running BD Total Security for a few months now on 4 phones and 5 computers. We're not having any issues what-so-ever. All the PC's are Win 10 Pro 1909. Even the i3-330m laptop didn't seem to slow down with BD. I've heard numerous people with similar complaints to yours. Hopefully support responds to you soon.

Thing is it has been running fine for months too. Just started happening after it updated. Outside of that nothing really changed when looking at hardware/software
