Confirmed the issue and we'll hopefully have it fixed up for the next version.

Thanks!


This appears to be fixed on Win 7 SP1 x86 and x64 Professional using Beta 13. Thanks very much for the prompt repair. ]]> RE: DF V3.4.112: High Handles & Memory Usage when TrojanHunter scanner running https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-v34112-high-handles-memory-usage-when-trojanhunter-scanner-running/?ID=233f1fed-a12b-4f5a-8944-733b69824ada#5 Mon, 19 Dec 2011 17:51:15 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/df-v34112-high-handles-memory-usage-when-trojanhunter-scanner-running/?ID=233f1fed-a12b-4f5a-8944-733b69824ada#5 DisplayFusion Confirmed the issue and we'll hopefully have it fixed up for the next version.

If you prefer, you can email the Troubleshooting info to me at support@displayfusion.com.

Beta 12 increase dramatically. Stopping the TH scan does NOT decrease the DF handles back to the normal 800-1000 handles.. This does not occur when scanning with SuperAntispyware, Malwarebtytes, NIS 2012, or Avira 12....only TrojanHunter V5.5.

This is on Windows 7 SP1 x86 and x64 Professional. Attached is a debug log of a partial scan with TrojanHunter as the DF handles build up. NOTE: The picture attached shows the handles at 22,000+ and increasing as the scan progresses on Win 7 SP1 x86 Professional. The second picture is on Win 7 SP1 x64 Professional

UPDATE: I installed DF 3.4.0 and it does not experience this issue on 32/64 bit Windows 7. And it looks like the normal number of handles is significantly lower (300-400 less) than 3.4.112. ]]>
