Hi, for some reason, whenever I extract a file with winrar, my RAM useage goes to 2.36GB, but in processes it doesnt add up to 2.36GB with show all processes ticked, can anyone explain to me whats going on?

I assume you are looking in task manager?

I suspect that this is just workspace that winrar assigns. It should disappear when winrar is done. Watch it in Resource Monitor > Memory tab.

svchost is the service .exe for the .dlls. It can be anything. Analyse them with Process Explorer. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../bb896653.aspx

According to Microsoft: “svchost.exe is a generic host process name for services that run from dynamic-link libraries”.
