Title:
  malware steals resources and is entirely useless

Status in tracker package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  cannot remove this piece of malware.   It has no use and seems to hijack cpu, disk, disk space and in general reduce system to unusable.  Purging the malware "tracker-miner-fs" reduces its impact some, but it's still expensive.
  I mean, who uses desktop search tools anyway?   Definitely not someone with several thousand source files and no interest in using a desktop to interact (that's what console is for).   Definitely not when there's perfectly good app menus that (at least used to be) present.

  Please purge this.  Or at least make it possible to purge.   It's malware.
  All "search tools" are malware because they eat disk space like they're the only app present and nothing else matters.   They should only ever be optional.
