BD writes a lot of data during scans
Hello.
In Windows Task Manager I noticed that BD Internet Security is not only reading but also writing with high rates on my SSD during manual scans. My C-drive is a 1TB SSD with about 200GB data on it. SMART values show that BD seems to write ~25GB during a "System Scan".
Why is BD writing such big amounts of data during scans? If do such scans regularly it will shorten my SSD's lifetime to a degree ...
Thx in advance for your help.
Win 10 21H2, BD up2date, scan of archives is on, scan only new and unchanged files is off

Hello.
I'm a Bitdefender Total Security on Windows 8.1 Pro 64-bit user.
I've never faced this kind of a problem during Quick Scan, System Scan and Custom System Scan.
In my Custom System Scan i have these settings: "Scan Archives" is ON and "Scan only new and modified files" is OFF, the same settings as yours.
