I'm running BitDefender and ClamAV virus scanners through MIMEDefang.

All of a sudden BitDefender started consuming a huge amount of CPU.  My load 
average shot up from under 1 to between 6 and 15.

Hi Matthew,

can you 'reproduce' this behavior ?
I've seen an even more strange CPU/Memory consuming *feature* from Kaspersky with all currently Scanners available which triggers your Machine into death. (5-10 Mails of 1.6MB size required) This DOS wasnt taken seriously from Kaspersky neither other 'Security related' sites. Its a tiking boomb waiting there.

look for mails which cause such behavior, i will try the Kaspersky DOS on BitDefender as soon as i get time...
Kind regards
Michael Lang
This happened on two servers simultaneously.

I disabled BitDefender (delete $Features{"Virus:BDC"}) and the problems went 
away.

Is anyone else having this problem?
