ekrn.exe memory usage on Windows XP

Hi!

I have been wondering what the normal memory usage for ekrn.exe on a Windows XP machine is? Mine is around 120MB and using the latest 4.2.67.10 version. Isn't that a bit high?

 

Hello VidKo
I am running on 64 bit Windows home Premium system and my ekrn.exe is using approximately 57mb, so it sound a bit high. If you are using other real-time AV-software, besides ESET , it can be one explanation of a high memory usage . And just in case have you checked your PC recently for malware.
Best Regard

 

Im using WinXP here...and ekrn.exe RAM consumption is around 50 MB

 

I just checked my other machine with Windows 7, it's around 58MB.

The Windows XP machine (my laptop I use for work) and is on 24/7 was thouroughly checked last week.

I guess it's time to check it again.

[EDIT]
Look like restarting helped, it's sitting at 63MB now. Gonna test some more.

 

Yes over 100Mb is too high.

My experience is that the Normal RAM usage of ekrn.exe is between 30-70MB.
So after the restart the usage went down to 63MB wich sounds normal.

FYI. MY ekrn.exe uses 64Mb at the moment.

 

mine is running 71MB, Dr Web runs over 100 and Avast is well below 20MB.
