Memory Usage

[Jeet Chowdhury]

Hello Friends,

Hi I Just Use KasperSky Anti-Virus 2009 For 1 Week. And In Idle Time My Memory Usage Is 200-260 MB In XP. But In Avast Its Reached Near About 450 MB. I Wonder If There Some Memory Leakage In Avast After Doing Some Browsing. Listening Some Music And Some Work.

Hope If This Is A BUG It Will Fix Soon. Thank You.

Sound strange, my avast is really light on resources. And my computers is online all time. Are you using the latest version of avast?

Is there a special avast process that use much memory for you? (check with task manager)

ashServ.exe 26MB + 28MB Virtal Memory

Btw Firefox Reached Some About 60MB + 45MB Strange

And svcHost.exe usage much memory also.

btw just a question is it possible to enable HIPS like function in avast? cause of USB drives some times i wronglly double click on them. if hips present there it ask for conformation to run that virus exe file.

No, avast hasn't this feature.

Set USB VirusScan

For me:
"<path>\USBVirusScan.exe" -c -i "<path>\ashQuick.exe" j:
Where j: is the drive letter I receive when I insert the USB stick.
