Full Scans, hang on 98%, running 15+ hours, creating C:\Windows\Temp PR* 22+gb files

[Flood and Flood's wife]

1. Kaspersky Security Cloud, Full Scans, running 15+ hours, creating C:\Windows\Temp PR* +++gb “massive” files.
2. Issue replicated on multiple computers, all with Opsys and Kaspersky software up to date.
3. Kaspersky software uninstalled and reinstalled. 

🤔

❓ Why is Kaspersky using C:\Windows\Temp & not C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\*20.0\Temp or C:\ProgramData\Kaspersky Lab\ where logs are written to? 

Anyone have any sage advice please? 

Thanks in advance🙏

Fixed this despite Kaspersky. 

They actually advised their software doesn’t create PR* files. 

Ho hum, yes it does. 

& the files causing the issue were Kaspersky files.

Hi Flood, can you kindly let us know how you fixed this? 

Was there an incident raised that you can share with me?
