Memory Usage

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. :slight_smile:

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:
“\USBVirusScan.exe” -c -i “\ashQuick.exe” j:
Where j: is the drive letter I receive when I insert the USB stick.
