Thanks again (for using all my disk space) Microsoft!

A Windows 7 virtual machine I'm running is regularly getting broken, because the disk space is out.

My investigations (with the help of Disk Space Analyzer from Glary Utilities) has revealed that this is due to:
  • CBS.log in C:\Windows\Logs\CBS growing large (е.г. several giga bytes at times); and
  • more recently folders C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Scans and C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Microsoft Antimalware\Definition Updates growing large (several gigabytes on last check).
Anyone knowing remedy for this (other than "don't use M$" and "don't use Windows Defender")?
