Some of you might remember I posted a while back about RAM usage increasing to full usage when defragging/checksumming files in Steam on Vista but I've just noticed this also happens when downloading files on Windows 7 - all RAM is filled until the PF starts to get filled but it can be emptied by pausing the download. This stops happening if I turn off Kaspersky but disabling certain protection elements doesn't seem to help. I've not really noticed this before because I mainly downloaded on an XP computer which it didn't seem to effect. Another thing to note is when I check resource monitor nothing appears to be using anywhere near that amount of RAM. I'm almost certain this is a memory leak or something in Kaspersky but could anybody check if this happens to them and if anyone knows any solutions I'd be very grateful. To replicate this problem start downloading a relatively large file and watch RAM usage slowly increase in task manager.
Thanks![]()
