puffersin 0 Posted January 23, 2023 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.
puffersin 0 Posted January 23, 2023 Author 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.
Administrators Marcos 5,453 Posted January 23, 2023 Administrators 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.
puffersin 0 Posted January 23, 2023 Author 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.
Daidai 3 Posted January 24, 2023 Posted January 24, 2023 Something could be hacking or exploiting your system, and Eset HIPS is defending which creates a lot of log entries.

Not if logging of blocked operations is disabled which is by default.
