Hello, I need help with something, I just bought a new HDD, I’ve installed the drive in an external enclosure, the problem I have is that Avast is always using the drive, the process Avast Antivirus engine server - aswEngSrv.exe never stops using the HDD this is very annoying because happens permanently even when the drive should be idling.
This has been happening for days, so the drive never goes into standby. The usage of the drive is low, usually between 1% and 4%, sometimes with higher spikes, but never stops. I have other external drives and this doesn’t happen with them. If I disable Avast the drive completely stops being used so I have no doubt that is Avast doing something.
Is there any way to speed up the process so it won’t take forever? For example, if the drive worked at near 100% it would take some hours not forever.
Also, I don’t want to reduce my safety settings, but if I want to stop the permanent low drive usage what must I do to stop it?
Avast version: 21.1.2449 (21.1.5968.646)
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
