New value: HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows Defender\IsServiceRunning = 0x1" There’s a lot to note within the full scan results. What this means is that while a heavier performance impact may be initially felt, users will experience this impact a shorter time. Old value: Default\IsServiceRunning = 0x0 Bitdefender’s quick scan performance usage is slightly more taxing than some of its peers, but takes a relatively shorter amount of time to process. If this is an unexpected event you should review the settings as this may be the result of malware.

Bitdefenders best protections are avoiding getting infected in 1st place, so I hardly ever scan the PC fully. Its why I have most of my files on a hdd as its nowhere near as bad. I have noticed it takes my CPU to 100 if its scanning SSD files. Keep in mind that the scan percentage is not equally proportional with the time elapsed. CPU usage should only be high if its scanning a SSD. First, despite Total Security being the premier product for consumers that Bitdefender sells, it does not include a full VPN. A System scan can take a long time to complete if the computer has never been scanned before with Bitdefender, if the hard drive has a large capacity, if there are many files on it and especially if there are over-compressed archives on it. This is one option that we do not recommend for a few reasons. There should have been a "Scan history" label under "Virus & threat protection" in settings, but I can't seem to find this label. Perhaps one of the more disappointing features included with Bitdefender Total Security is the VPN service. I did an offline scan with Windows Defender and can't seem to find the scan results.
