[MBAM OR SAS]

A few second after I finish manually updating the database,the memory usage of mbamservice.exe rises up to 60mb and then it will stay at 47mb.
Normally,this process only use about 27mb of memory.So is this a memory leak?

Is this from viewing your Task Manager.?

Yes.It is showing under Memory (Private Set)

Whenever the database size changes, so does the memory usage of the Protection Module as it loads the entire DB into memory, this is normal, and will decrease when Marcin does another database optimization (ie removing obsolete detections and improving heuristic detection patterns, thus a reduction in the total number of fingerprints ).

But this has never happen in previous version.

I don't think the DB is going to get smaller with whats out there in malware! Here's the current size: http://www.malwareby.../malwarenet.php of the Detection List. I've been beta testing every ver. since 1.33+ to date.
I had the same answer exile360 posted above, in another pc in a text file, just could not get to that notebook then. regards..

What is the memory use after a reboot? Does it go back to ~27MB or is it now 47MB? If it's 47MB, that would validate what you're being told by yardbird and exile360; although, it seems like a big one time jump.

If I reboot,it goes back to 27mb

This is not the behavior I see on my machine, MBAM OR SAS. Can anyone else replicate this?

[exile360]

It jumps a bit for me when I execute some new processes, but then the ram usage goes back down to close to what it was on boot, which currently is around 12,000k.

I know this is an old post I am still experiencing the same issue.
