[QUOTE="MacDefender, post: 876224, member: 83059"] This seems typical of most AVs that use the BitDefender engine -- their engine seems to map all of their monstrous signatures into memory for performance. You can either configure it in that mode where it scans quickly but uses a lot of memory, or configure it for a low memory mode (which Emsisoft and a few others support) which uses less memory but scans slower. IMO for most people the default configuration is the better tradeoff. You generally have 300MB of RAM to spare but especially on mobile devices with CPU frequency scaling, you lose a lot more performance and battery life by the extra CPU cycles in low-memory mode.
