Recently installed BitDefender Free in place of Microsoft Security Essentials and noticed a large memory leak. I think I will just remove BitDefender if it is causing the problem. ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/memory-leak/?ID=4cd40f50-f7c0-4ade-a8a3-1217076e0c6e#7 Mon, 06 Apr 2015 19:57:23 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/memory-leak/?ID=4cd40f50-f7c0-4ade-a8a3-1217076e0c6e#7 DisplayFusion No, unfortunately I couldn't find a way to work around it with the Free edition either. We had contacted their support team about the issue as well and got nowhere with them ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/memory-leak/?ID=4cd40f50-f7c0-4ade-a8a3-1217076e0c6e#6 Fri, 03 Apr 2015 09:38:29 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/memory-leak/?ID=4cd40f50-f7c0-4ade-a8a3-1217076e0c6e#6 DisplayFusion Sorry about necroing this, but the BitDefender free edition I'm using doesn't seem to have exclusion settings. Any way around it? ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/memory-leak/?ID=4cd40f50-f7c0-4ade-a8a3-1217076e0c6e#5 Wed, 11 Dec 2013 14:40:42 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/memory-leak/?ID=4cd40f50-f7c0-4ade-a8a3-1217076e0c6e#5 DisplayFusion Keith,
That seems to have worked. Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/memory-leak/?ID=4cd40f50-f7c0-4ade-a8a3-1217076e0c6e#4 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 20:01:05 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/memory-leak/?ID=4cd40f50-f7c0-4ade-a8a3-1217076e0c6e#4 DisplayFusion Ok, there seems to be something in the BitDefender Active Virus Control heuristic scanner that's hooking DisplayFusion and causing it to leak handles. Unfortunately it's not something we can fix from our end, but you can add DisplayFusion.exe to the Excluded Processes list on the Antivirus Settings > Exclusions tab, then reboot and that should resolve the memory leak.

Thanks! ]]> https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/memory-leak/?ID=4cd40f50-f7c0-4ade-a8a3-1217076e0c6e#3 Tue, 10 Dec 2013 19:52:18 GMT Binary Fortress Software https://www.displayfusion.com/Discussions/View/memory-leak/?ID=4cd40f50-f7c0-4ade-a8a3-1217076e0c6e#3 DisplayFusion Yes, I am.

Right now it is using more than 1GB of RAM. If I close the program and restart, it comes back normally, with 50MB or so. I am running the latest version (5.1.1) ]]>
