Norton isn't the cause of the memory leak.... and it isn't slowing down my PC. My pc can more than handle any tasks i throw at it... including running a VMware Server 2008/ SQL server VM ... while playing d3 beta.
We could all argue all day about the best anti-virus... and we all have our preferences. You'll call me a noob for using Norton... and i'll call you a noob for using Kapersky or Avira. (and fyi i work at a computer forensics firm that handles some malware analysis).
We could argue all day and you'd still be wrong. Not by me, but by the entire security industry outside of Symantec. No one with any knowledge of other software solutions thinks Norton is the best. No independent test will back you up either. Kaspersky isn't as bad, neither is Avira. Norton isn't the cause of this leak, but it is the cause of many others.
My complaint isn't that Norton + Diablo Fans = bad performance ... its the following:
1.) Norton (only during the last week) has been barking about what it deems certain banners as being phishing attempts.
2.) Diablo fans runs NO LESS than 200MB and if left open will mem leak to enormous amounts of data.
3.) Diablo fans should not allow its advertisers on the homepage to run so intensive...
1.)Again, turn Norton off. It's sending you false info. Get used to it.
2.)The nature of browsers...every website you open will use between 150 and 350 MB of ram. The ram usage is primarily the browser with a small part the website. I routinely open 10+ tabs to hit the newest posts at DF and nothing hits 200.
3.)None of the ads are intensive at all.
If you see a browser window eating 25% cpu and 1.2GB of ram, it's on your end.
