DFRHUD process is using 4.5GB memory ?

My 2020 13" MacBook Pro has 32GB memory, Mac OS 10.15 . I've been getting messages to close some applications because I'm low on memory; something is not right. I ran Activity Monitory utility and a process DFRHUD is using 4.5 GB of memory. I don't know what that is and a search yielded precious little help except it may be related to EtreCheck an app that checks the health of your computer and generates a report. Can anyone help me

Thanks, Henrik

DFRHUD is associated with the Accessibility menu in System Preferences, if you have "enable Touch Bar zoom" in Accessibility then try disabling it as a test.
