[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1121926, member: 78686"] I can't say for sure, but it could be down to this option in ESET though 5 GB seems too extreme. It is enabled by default, but I have always used it by disabling this option. Next time you use ESET, disable this. [ATTACH type="full"]287996[/ATTACH] You may notice more than 200-300 MB difference at least once a day. Bitdefender seems to update their engine or whatever (I'm not sure if engine is the correct word but something of that nature) at least once a day. When it happens, Bitdefender's size is increased by a decent amount (500 MB or more). They keep a backup of the previous engine and it's deleted only after a system restart. So, size will restore back to normal after a system restart. Same happens for Avast the last time I checked. [/QUOTE]
