Programs don't open quickly, either. I have a DSL connection. The OS is
Windows Vista, 6.0.6002 SP 2. per the System info available under
Accessories - System Tools - System Information
The only program open when I wrote this was Notepad. I opened Firefox,
version 7.0.1,, copied and pasted this in here. ESET NOD 32 is in the
background but is not "open" per se, i.e., no scan is running. I don't
have
Word, Mail, and other programs open at the same time. 2 or 3 Firefox
tabs
at a max.
Opera & IE are slow, too.
I believe this is called a "memory leak", but I have no idea how to fix
it.
Thanks
I have no idea why you think it's a memory leak - it doesn't especially
sound like one, and it's not so easy to identify one.
But since you mention your connection is DSL, I might wonder if that
isn't the problem.
I don't think it's fair to say that ESET isn't open, since it is running
in the background. It might even be scanning everything that your
browsers are downloading, as well as every executable file that is
loading. In fact I think it's *supposed* be doing those things.
Were things much faster before? I.e., has there been a change in speed?
Was it sudden? Did it happen right after you installed a new program?
And so on...
