Hi guys, i'm looking to limit the CPU usage of Windows Defender.

I know in Microsoft Security Essential there was an option in settings to limit the usage, but I can't find it in Windows Defender?

The Antimalware Service Executable is hogging resources, taking up to 50%, causing my fans to be constantly on.

Ideally i'd like to limit it to around 10%.

I'm using Windows 8 just for reference.
