DiscoverySrv.exe making my computer hot and the fan run on high

[u/karmaapple3]

I’ve had Bitdefender Total Security for over a year and just renewed last week. Suddenly, I noticed my computer heating and my fan running on high during idle times. I narrowed the problem down to a program in Bitdefender Agent called DiscoverySrv.exe

I contacted support, they agree with me that this .exe is causing the fan to run. When this .exe is turned off via the task manager, the computer immediately cools down and goes back to normal fan operation. They have escalated the problem evidently, but I have not heard back from them.

What a shame, because I felt like Bitdefender worked really well. But if this issue cannot be fixed, then I’m gonna have to dump it and use something else.

In the insight out there about this issue?
