    This was fixed approximately in Sept 2012. Please generate a dump of ekrn.exe (via the task manager on Windows Vista / Windows 7 / Windows :cool:, compress it, upload it to a safe location and PM me the download link.

    I thought it was fixed a long time ago o_O
    That's normal.
    That's NOT normal.

    I was actually about to update to V6 Final in a few days, but I can't do that until I know that this is fixed to 100%, since I only got 512Mb of RAM leaks like this is not allowed happen on my system. Oh well :(

    A log from SysInspector might also shed some light. I've seen cases where the user had many open connections, each consuming certain amount of memory.

    Your not the only one seeing this uptime of only 22hrs & i'm seeing ekrn.exe using 145mb it's some how related to internet conectivity, because each time i open a browser FF or IE or even outlook express it fails to completely unload all the memory, and the ekrn.exe slowly accumilates more and more physical memory, it's working memory set keeps expanding

    The developers have analyzed the dump thoroughly and found out that the issue occurs due to the TCP connection being closed normally without the reset signal at the point when the file was not downloaded completely yet. This behavior is very unusual and shouldn't normally occur. The issue will be remedied via an Internet protection module update soon.

    Hard to tell but it will take at least a few days until the new module is put on pre-release servers.

    Don't suppose you have a definate date that this new module will be released ? As it would seem that it perhaps should of already been released by now, but it hasn't Internet protection module: 1051 (20121203)
