Quick Heal Antivirus Eating Your Hard Disk Space (must see if you are a QH user)


QuickHeal Growing Fat in Size






Before we begin i want to make an announcement "Quick Heal is the best antivirus i ever used"..


OK, Its about today when i Gaze over my C:/ and saw that there's only 3GB free space remaining,which was 9GB+ two days a go, So i check everything in the drive beginning from My Documents i also performed Disk Cleanup and deleted System restore points,but nothing helped..

Finally i went for "Program Files" and i saw "Quick Heal Total Security" was 8GB+ in size..

an Antivirus taking that much space is totally annoying so i searched net for an answer...but no solution!!!

So i did it manually and Solved it on my own:


If you are Facing the same problem then here is few steps to solve it:



First check out that QH is Eating that much space or not



After that open QuickHeal : Settings > Turn Off "self Protection"
                                           Turn Off QH for 15 mins



Now go to C:/Program Files
>Find Folder named "Quick Heal"  > Quick heal Total Security (Antivrus/ Internet Security)
                                                     >TEMP


Then Delete all the files inside the folder "TEMP"


DONE!!!!!!!!!
