Very good explanation, answered what I needed to know, thanks.

Ok, thank you for your answers.

Sorry I forgot to say that the thing using 50,000-80,000K of memory was ekrn.exe. I don't want to disable real-time-protection, I just want it to stop using that amount of memory. NOD32 is suppose to use very little memory compared to other AV's right? But it seems it uses the most memory and you say this is normal?

Thanks for the quick reply. My computer is using 50,000-80,000K of memory all the time, so I think its the scanning that is making it do that. Also maybe making svchost.exe use about 140,000K although that might be something else. I would be very grateful if you could help me fix this.

When I go to statistics I see that the number of scanned objects go up and I can see what it is scanning. How do I disable this "background scanning". I thought it was HIPS, but I tried that and it wasn't. I am using ESET NOD32 Antivirus 7 Beta.
