Is this thing still kind of heavy on memory usage? I installed it a few weeks ago and it was fine for a while. After a reboot the memory usage climbed to 195k. Way too much in my opinion for an all cloud based AV. Any thoughts/insight?

if you enable bitdefender/avira engines it is mos likely to see a 400 mb of ram usage when making on demand scans. Besides when you boot up you have to consider that most of the AV loads its engines first to RAM and then to the hard disk, how ever later, this quantity may decrease a lot. also notice that when you make on demand scan, copy big files etc.. you may expect a high ram consumption... it is more easier to acces virus signatures on ram rather than read from the hard disk... this is why some AV are considered a "cookie monster" in matters of ram

Yeah I'm familiar with how the HD accesses info. I did wait a while before making the assumption that it was just scanning. It still hovered around the high 190's. I also didn't have either engined enabled or even downloaded the def's for it.

so it is unusual... qihoo is not intended to eat that much of memory.. in default settings it will load you around 80 mb maximum... may be something was not working well... i may tell you that qihoo is a feather compared to others....

I like to run light. I have WSA complete and sandboxie at the moment. It's about as light as you can get. I know that it's not recommended to run two AV's but I was thinking about adding another layer. Since WSA isn't really known for its detection rate. I'll try this new release. Maybe they tweaked the mem usage a little.

you can run WSA with a major security AV like bitdefender or norton with out any problem... also WSA is great when it comes to roll back features and b-have.

 

[kjdemuth]

Yeah I have in the past. I normally don't bother too much. I'm actually running it with WSA right now. My mem is running around 36k for all three procs. I don't have either additional AV but I think that without it Qihoo has a good detection rate.

@sonylxn You can either check for an update manually, or download the new version. It should be safe to perform an over-the-top update.
