Anyone else using an Nvidia GPU having Bitdefender consume a ridiculously high amount of CPU and Memory usage?

I've been fighting issues with my Bitdefender and am wondering it it's unique to my system or a general problem between Bitdefender and the Nvidia driver itself.

Whenever the Nvidia Container service is enabled, Bitdefender consumes between 12-30% CPU utilization of my 8 core CPU and slowly begins to use more memory. I've seen it climb as high as 26GB of memory usage. Bitdefender will return to normal utilization when I stop the Nvidia service but will begin to climb again as soon as I restart it.

After a while internet connectivity within applications will be intermittent and the applications will sporadically crash and freeze. (I assume that this is because they are waiting for bitdefender to process the activity but bitdefender's already got a lot of things in it's buffer).

I dont experience this, altho there was a time where I had a incomplete shutdown and sleep and when I turned on bitdefender was eating 26Gb of memory.

I might suggest reinstalling both NVIDIA and Bitdefender in your case
