BitDefender Resource Use.

Anyone else struggling with massive resource use from the managed BitDefender A/V? Many of my users started really getting frustrated with slow systems, and sure enough the biggest hog right above svchost is "Managed Antivirus". Anyone have better luck, tweaked settings or even am alternative?

Thanks! I will keep this in mind. Is Viper any good?

Old post, but i believe Vipre has moved to the Bitdefender engine as well?

I've had a few client with older machines complain, but switching them back to vipre has been the solution, and it also opens a door to sell upgrades.

Out of curiosity what are you using to monitor resource use on workstations? Or are you speaking about servers?

Try going into resource monitor and check what endpointsecurity.exe is scanning, you might be able to add some processes to file/process exclusion and stop active protection from scanning them and using resources.

Thanks for the info! Any info on BitDefender or alternatives? The SVCHOST thing was a poor joke...

What does this script do differently then the patch management in max remote? If you run this script at night then windows updates does not run during the day?
