2.0.0.6 version

Done spybot scanning

Done Adware 2007 scanning

Both don't even have infections (besids those cookies)

1k ram

FF using around 80000 in Mem usage in Task manager.

Anything else?

I'm not sure, 80,000 seems a bit weird. Mine only takes up about 40,000

www.stevengould.org - CleanUp! 4.5.2 Download

Download and Run that. It takes 2 seconds. It helps alot, it deletes all of your temporary files rather than you manually taking them out.

Mine is using about 45k right now. If you have multiple tabs open in one browser, the memory sometimes skyrockets.

What Nubs said,multi-tabs can eat up a lot....clearing temp files is always good too.
I have trouble with I.E. cloning it's damn self and ending up with 16 of the stupid things popping up.I close tabs and the retarded thing mutiplies till I go into Task Manager.

I'll have a bunch of tabs open from time to time but I never try to do anything heavy when doing it, i.e. playing WoW, running Winamp, and having 8 tabs open. Granted I could still do it because I have 3GB of RAM (rolleyesSmile but one should be aware of one's system capabilities. Back when I had 1GB multiple tabs would rape my system.

Nope. A window > tab.
That will just cause alot more lag.

hmm.. i think that it also depends on the amount of add-ons you have. im using 127K right now, even though i only have 3 tabs/windows open. last week it lagged like hell, and i only have 512 ram. clearing the cookies seemed to help a bit
