Acivity monitor is showing the process BDDaemon using nearly 530 MB of memory, consistently.
While my machine is not protesting except for running a bit hotter (180 ° F compared to about 165 ° F normally) I'd like to lower BDDaemon's memory usage.
How can I accomplish that?
Hi
it's part of Bit Defender anti-virus, no ?
so disable or uninstall it.
Yeah, that was it. Funny that in my mind I could not connect BBDaemon with BitDefender.
Anyway, I trashed BD and will likely go with ClamX for now 'till BD fixes the BBDaemon issue.
Enen though there are currently no viruses for Mac in the wild I feel more comfortable with an AV program on my machine. It's just a matter of time before some miscreants set a virus or two loose amongst us.
BDDaemon...Memory Hog, What's Wrong?
