M34 0 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 Hi all, Could anyone advise what their 'ekrn.exe' memory (private working set) sits at? Mine seems to be a higher over the last few weeks.. Mine is at 231MB~ Is that about the current average? Few months back always thought that it was run a lot lower.. Cheers.

Most Valued Members SCR 195 Posted December 16, 2016 Most Valued Members Share Posted December 16, 2016 It would be helpful to know which version of Eset and which OS you are using. On my Windows 7 sp1 x64 using Eset Internet Security v10.0.369.0 I find ekrn.exe using 43 to 47 mb of memory at idle, which pretty much where it stays.

mma64 7 Posted December 16, 2016 Share Posted December 16, 2016 ESS V9.0.408, Win7 Pro x64, with ~1350 firewall rules and ~2450 HIPS rules, ekrn.exe uses ~200 MB at the moment. After starting my PC it's ~160 MB, changing a bunch of HIPS rules (TXT chgs, ie. the description field) memory consumption may double (and not going down). The longer the PC is running the higher the memory consumption, ~800 MB after a few days, and not much going down. (But no problem, with 32 GB RAM...)

I'm using ESET Smart Security - Ver 9.0.408.0 /DB V14618 Windows 7 x64 @ 24GB memory. 39 minutes ago, mma64 said: ESS V9.0.408, Win7 Pro x64, with ~1350 firewall rules and ~2450 HIPS rules, ekrn.exe uses ~200 MB at the moment.

I've found that it usually runs around around ~140mb then slowly creeps up to around 240mb~ after some time. I don't think I've seen it go past 250mb yet. It's not a massive deal as I've got 24GB RAM, it's just that I've noticed the change of performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Most Valued Members SCR 195 Posted December 18, 2016 Most Valued Members Share Posted December 18, 2016 M34, If my memory is correct, always debatable, that's about what I remember v9.x using. That's been several months or more as I installed the beta EIS v10.x quite a while ago. If memory is an issue for you then I suggest you look in to getting Eset v10.x . It's much easier on resources.
