BitDefender issue

A number of people reported severe problems with the bitdefender update scripts yesterday. Seemingly the processes were hanging and eating up CPU.
Kevin Spicer found a good interim solution:
vim /usr/lib/MailScanner/bitdefender-autoupdate
Comment out the following two lines:
LINE 190
system “$bitDCmd > $origFile “;
LINE 253
system “$bitDCmd > $destFile “;
You then need to kill any bitdefender update processes. Most of them are “bdc”, so you can run:
ps auxwww|grep bdc
but I also found a few with “bitdefender” in the string.
Thanks to Kevin for solving this!
EDIT: This issue was resolved by the developers a few days later
