Purpleroses 21 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 I notice my eset goes from 50 mb to 110 mb of memory? Is that normal? How much memory should it take? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted May 11, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 11, 2020 It's pretty normal. More than 200 MB would be a lot. Memory usage has decreased with the move to dll modules and egui_proxy. E.g. this is memory usage with an old v8 on Windows XP: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul.R 0 Posted May 11, 2020 Share Posted May 11, 2020 (edited) Hi! It's normal, ESET use so much RAM because it's update signature thru RAM memory not using CPU. Better performance, one of the reasons why ESET is so light on system. Edited May 11, 2020 by Paul.R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purpleroses 21 Posted May 12, 2020 Author Share Posted May 12, 2020 Got one more question!! When I first turn on my computer in the morning and everything loads up my eset will be at 50 mb of memory and then when I got to facebook or check my mail it will go up to 90. Then when my computer goes to sleep and then is waken up I noticed that it will go up to a 100mb memory. Is this normal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If ekrn.exe memory usage keeps going up throughout the day while the PC is on, it would be indicative of a memory leak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Administrators Marcos 5,074 Posted May 13, 2020 Administrators Share Posted May 13, 2020 It's normal if memory usage goes up a bit (e.g. if you are downloading a relatively small archive which is unpacked in memory for scanning) but the additional memory should be freed then.

Purpleroses 21 Posted May 15, 2020 Author Share Posted May 15, 2020 Since doing a windows update this week. My eset is staying between 60 and 70 mb. Could it have been something to do with last months windows update? Thank you for the help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only when I scanned I got the detection. So, is ESET still "unpacking" double zipped files during the download???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
