I'm trying it out, is there anyway to optimize Bitdefender so it uses as little RAM as possible? can be very heavy at times with 180-320mb of ram, jumping to near 800mb when scanning

Despite that Bitdefender is known to consume lots of RAM, nearing 800MB when scanning is too much. I would assume it's a bug or memory leak.
so it downloaded an update, and asked me to restart my pc (VM by the way). I then checked it and vsserv.exe is now using 70-105mb as opposed to 180-320mb while idle. rising to 160-190mb when busy
Are you seeing system impact or is your system running well and BD is just using a lot of RAM? And that is a LOT of RAM, but if your system is running smooth and you have plenty of RAM I wouldn't worry about it. Every time I've used BD I've seen a big impact on performance and my machine is pretty powerful.

Not sure but you can try by installing Process Lasso, I have had positive feedback when I used software avid of RAM.
virtual machine has 2 cores, and 2gb of ram. But vsserv.exe has used up to 60% cpu when busy, peaking at 190mb of ram. host machine has 8gb ram in total and a 2.8ghz processor
Damn that's a LOT of CPU. I can deal with high RAM usage but I wouldn't tolerate high CPU usage.
RAM is there to be used. it is the fastest thing on your pc and it doesnt break as fast as a processor or hdd/ssd. if a program use more ram but is lighter on the machine its a well coded programm. but a program that uses less ram and use more cpu its just bad programing in my opion.
In my opinion, BD needs to re-write its engines, and look at following the norton path, very low ram usage, less than 2% cpu but almost unbreachable security
The only thing I dislike about Norton is that toolbar.
