Hello again.
I have a little update. I am running the latest Avast but have not yet dared to remove it since I'm worried I will be laid flat by viruses and what have you.
I have however found out that if i download only via my browser there is no significant rise in RAM use but once I start using Newsbin the RAM slowly rises and keeps rising until I close the program and there is maybe a 2-3% drop in RAM use but maybe 15-25% percent sometimes more is still being held and not released depending on how big the download was. I have set Avast mail filter to NOT scan newsgroup traffic but if Avast really is the culprit does anyone have an idea of settings that don't interfere with Newsbin usage?
If I remove Avast what other AV scanner can you recommend? I was looking at Bitdefender and I'm not too crazy about MSE since it still gets a low rating. Thank you
