Forefront Endpoint Protection high memory usage on Windows 8

I have been having issues with my Forefront client using more then 8gb+ of my memory usage on my computer merely idling. A quick google finds some other people have some solutions on how to solve the issue but they did not work for me. The only way I could actually get it to stop sucking up the memory was to set my settings like so:

“Monitor Only Incoming Files” is the main option that seems to fix the problem.

Other people have also reported that adding any “Mapped Network Drives” to the “Excluded files and locations” section worked as well.
