Kaspersky Memory Leak

Robert · 15 Dec 2008 at 19:32

Well I decided to run a virus scan and it got to around 96% then decided to leak RAM like no other.

I was browsing/had Outlook open but surely this shouldn't change it unless it's altering the state of files. But even then...

Can't help you on the Kaspersky front as I'm a devoted NOD32 disciple, but that's another thread!

However can I suggest using something like Process Monitor to see what Kaspersky was/is handling and then try and isolate that file(s)?

Well Kaspersky says that everything is protected so I'm sure if a virus was about it would alert me.

Wasn't implying there's a virus.

Just that it could be a particular file causing the lockup for whatever reason.

I know you weren't.

Just saying that I'm paranoid as it won't finish.

Lol OK. Tried the virus scan again but with Outlook closed? Just to eliminate that as a problem? I assume you probably have but if not I'm not passing up this chance to be patronising!
