[QUOTE="SeriousHoax, post: 1091199, member: 78686"] I'm not an expert on this subject of physical ram and virtual ram usage, but the thing is what you're seeing in Process Hacker's Private Bytes is the accumulation of physical memory, virtual memory and shared memory of that process. So not all that memory is exclusively being used by Bitdefender at that time. Some of them can be shared with other running processes also. Bitdefender's physical memory usage would be from 300-500 MB on a 16 GB ram system which is still higher than most products, but the explanation provided by everyone above is accurate. Not using it now but in the past, I have seen Bitdefender's ram usage to go down to only 80 MB when I was playing a ram heavy game. I think the memory was offloaded to the pagefile. So, Windows itself as well as Bitdefender is designed to release memory when other process need them. Edit: You should update to System Informer from Process Hacker. They have changed the name of their product. Process Hacker is no longer maintained. [/QUOTE]
