Why does SAFE constantly use up all my disk space?

I have been getting this issue at least twice a week now. While disabling all security features and re-enabling them will resolve this, this occurs why too often and at 270+ GB every instance, I am worried that this is reducing the life of my SSD. Does anyone else face the same issue?

Hi @nodiskspace
Are you facing the issue on your Windows or Mac machine?
If F-Secure plugin hosting service process is shown to be using a lot of CPU and disk, it is an indication that the product is currently scanning files. Either a scheduled scan is ongoing or files are currently being scanned by real-time scanning.
To make sure that a scheduled scan is not ongoing, follow these steps:
If fsscan.exe is running, a scheduled scan is ongoing. The CPU and disk usage will be shown in the Processes tab to be used by F-Secure plugin hosting service.
You can change the scheduled scanning settings to minimize CPU / Disk usage and also decrease the scanning time:
When the next scan is run, it will use those settings.
If this doesn't help, you can also try perform uninstall and re-install to see if that solve the issue or please contact F-Secure customer support.
