Potential Non-Pagable pool Memory leak
I was using AVG, when I started to realize severe performance issues; I started to get BSOD's, lagg, and general difficulty with the computer.
After some investigation into processes, it came to my attention that my memory would slowly reach 100% usage after a while of running.
I checked several processes, startup services, and other things which might use up memory until I looked at the details tab and added the non-pageable pool and pagable pool options.
I saw AVG using a million KB (very large for N-P pool), a half hour or so later it's at 2 million kb.
I don't know if this is just me, or if it is the new update, but I just wanted to make sure I said something.
