AVG8 Free Uses 1GB Memory
When I run a scan with AVG 8 Free it uses 1GB (!) of memory. What is bad is that when the scan is done that 1GB of memory is not released. The memory is only released if I reboot the computer. This also happens with Vista 64bit.
This scan is either just an ordinary scan of the whole harddisk or a scan of just some of the folders. I think memory may also be consumed by AVG 8 even when scanning just a single folder but I'm not sure of that. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Is there some way to get AVG to release the memory short of rebooting? Has anyone else seen this behavior?
Using:
Seven 64bit (or Vista HP 64bit)
4Gb main memory
AVG 8 Free version
