Denial Of Service + Antivirus time out

[Glenn Steen]

Unless you have bought bitdefender, I'd drop it from the mix of scanners...
It can be a terrible performance hog! And if you use the old "free" one,
I'd drop it, since load is probably all it contributes with...;-)
Either that or try determine the bottlenevk and "fix" that in HW.

Cheers!
