fscxfenced regularly consumes 8+ gigs of memory on my Mac. I have to force quit it at least every other day. One time I caught it consuming 18 gigs of RAM after forgetting to kill it for a week.
I hope F-Secure is making this fix a priority. This is a huge memory leak.
As a note, I have both Intel and M1 Macs. This only appears to be a problem on my Intel Mac.

Hi, @LordStrongback
Are you using a corporate/enterprise product?
The fix for the issue has been deployed to Total product with version 19.0.
22.4 sounds like version of a corporate product which WithSecure is responsible for nowadays.
I would suggest reporting such issues on the corresponding Community site https://community.withsecure.com/
