Spotlight indexing begins after a VM is resumed

I am quite desperate. I am running Fusion 5.0.2 on OS X 10.8.2 with Windows 7 as the guest. Every time I resume my suspended machine, Spotlight indexing begins bringing my machine to a crawl. I have tried to add a privacy setting to Spotlight, excluding the folder that contains my VMs from indexing. I have tried to remove that folder from TimeMachine as well. Still, when the machine is resumed, indexing begins immediately. Does anyone have any advice on how to stop this? Is Spotilght indexing related to Unity in any way?

Thanks.
