It's a component of BitDefender... but it uses a hell of a lot of resources.
   

BitDefender Scan Server. Comes with Bid Defender. It start's to project the CPU usage through the roof when BD starts scanning.
   

Programs are slow to load since I installed BitDefender and I am looking for a reason why. The problem could be something else - not sure yet.

Bdds ist kein Problem wie es auf dieser Seite beschrieben wird, sondern ein Programm, welches einen vor Problemen schützt: Bitdefender siehe bitdefender.com

bdss.exe is a file used by Dit Defender antivirus and is part of the active shield that helps make this a very resource hungry but seemingly very good antivirus...I rate it in the upper 3 top choices
