Hi, My Windows Defender has been using 80+ MBPS of my SSD and between 30%-100% of my i5 4670k consistently recently for the past week. I gathered that it is not normal so I started looking in event viewer, task scheduler, Windows Update, Resource Monitor, I even added a few exceptions in the Windows Defender. Nothing seems to work at the moment and when I google it most problems seem to be with MSE where you can remove then install it again. I am on Windows 8 and cannot do this with Windows Defender. I am certain a scan is not running, and the only thing which stops it is if I disable the app.
Can someone help?
If you need any more info, ask.
Thanks.
