ghanistaken 0 Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 ESET uses 40-50mb ram when i start my computer. After a while its going up to 250-270 mb and i think its high. Note: This is happening even though i didn't do anything like scan etc. How can I fix this pls help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Marcos 5,071 Posted February 27, 2022 Administrators Share Posted February 27, 2022 Couldn't it be that it happens after you launch a browser and open certain websites? If so, it's a known problem of the operating system crypto API caused also by downloading a big (~64 MB) certificate revocation list, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghanistaken 0 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 I don't think I downloaded something but. If its happening when I started a browser why its not going down when I closed it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its happening when I started a browser why its not going down when I closed it? That's because the OS crypto API function keeps the big CRL loaded in memory for a longer time. It's beyond the control of ESET or other AV's that would perform cert. revocation check during SSL filtering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's the problem described above then you cannot do anything. Well, you could disable SSL filtering, which would, however, deteriorate protection. Even then it would be probably the browser which would call the same crypto API function so it would be the browser which would consume more RAM instead of ESET.

ghanistaken 0 Posted February 27, 2022 Author Share Posted February 27, 2022 Closing SSL filtering didn't help. I think there is no fix for this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it normal? That's what I wrote. If you disable SSL scanning in ESET, then the crypto API function will be likely called by the browser resulting in higher memory use by the browser instead of ESET.
