puffersin 0 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 ESET Smart Security Premium is using 100% of my disk. It happens even after a restart, every game closed, and even with firewall, internet, and real-time protection turned off. Really considering uninstalling, and calling it a lost cause of $100, this is excessive disk usage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffersin 0 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Was turning off every module one by one to no avail. Finally got to HIPS, issue stopped persisting after I ENTIRELY disabled HIPS, haven't had an issue since. What a great great antivirus, I'm pretty sure this has been ongoing, and is why my drive has been having some issues. Thanks a lot ESET. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,069 Posted January 23, 2023 Administrators Share Posted January 23, 2023 Please provide logs collected with ESET Log Collector for perusal. I have a gut feeling that HIPS was misconfigured, causing extensive logs being written to the disk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puffersin 0 Posted January 23, 2023 Author Share Posted January 23, 2023 Alright I'll do that when I'm back on the Computer @Marcos. How could it be misconfigured? I literally leave everything the way it came stock, and to turn off & on I just used " ENABLE HIPS " button, I never have messed with HIPS options. It came misconfigured then? Anywhom, I'll drop the Logs when I return. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daidai 3 Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 Something could be hacking or exploiting your system, and Eset HIPS is defending which creates a lot of log entries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not if logging of blocked operations is disabled which is by default. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
