Re: NOD32 memory usage

I just changed (trial versions) from Avast Pro to NOD32.

I am surprised and troubled to discover that while Avast Pro used about 11,00kb, NOD uses 18,000kb.

Do I have something set wrong in NOD? Should it be using this much?

Louise, I assume you're talking about the Nod32krn service? It's really unimportant whether or not it's using 11 or 18 MB of memory, unless your system is very old, has insufficient (or flaky) memory to begin with, or you are running resident lots of memory hungry applications.

One of my machines has NOD32 installed and is allocating 13 MB to the NOD kernel.

What's more important is how much "drag" an application puts on your system. Does NOD slow your system down or appear to interfere with other applications loading? If not, then 18 MB of memory allocation probably isn't a factor.
