ninjageek Posted November 4, 2007 CID Share Posted November 4, 2007 I really don't use firefox. I did however trip across this handy free program. Just click on it and it will show next to your system clock. Run firefox. This will force firefox to stop using so much memory. Does seem to work. Someone will have to give it a shot and see what they think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dn0 Posted November 4, 2007 CID Share Posted November 4, 2007 THANKS DUDE!!!!!!! for the attempted Trojan implant...... According to AVG, anyways. I would remove that file ninjageek. Although it would be nice to find a prog like that that actually works. FF on my machine will build up to 300,000K + before I have to shut the browser down and restart it.

ninjageek Posted November 4, 2007 Author CID Share Posted November 4, 2007 Now I scaned and it showed nothing !! Its gone. Does work well. Mod will have to delete it. I can't seem to. Can someone else confirm there getting the trojan warning? Seems odd not only did it pass avg it passed webroot as well?? BIg time sorry. I really did scan it. Hope its just another avg false positive. Avg has been bad about that of late. Not sure how it can be a trojan when you install nothing ?? Strange. Mods delete the file please.

dn0 Posted November 4, 2007 CID Share Posted November 4, 2007 Thanks for trying ninjageek. Maybe it is a false positive, but I guess it's better to be safe than sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn0 Posted November 4, 2007 CID Share Posted November 4, 2007 100 Percent agree!! I feel horid and so sorry about it. Just glad you caught. Flipping hackers. And the reason I caught it was because it sounded like exactly what I needed to fix the Firefox memory problem I have on my home PC. I have two work notebooks on which I use FF daily, and they have no memory problem whatsoever. I can't find any difference in any setting on any of the 3. edit: FF process at 102,000K and climbing....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjageek Posted November 4, 2007 Author CID Share Posted November 4, 2007 Yea thats why I don't use firefox. I still gotta wonder if its really a trojan or its a false positive. You have a firewall, If it was a trojan it would ask for access to the net, and your firewall would block anything trying to come it. I am willing to bet its not one. Heck give it a shot and see what happens. It dosen't install anything. I started using opera about 6 months ago. Wow I sure love it. I will be the first to admit while opera's content blocker works ok, its still not the best. Proxython makes opera a bit slower. I found that admuncher just makes opera smoke. Best 30 bucks I ever spent. I am so happy with it I am gonna probally buy a copy of it for the gf puter. From time to time I do see on the opera forums former users of firefox there. I myself was that way. While every browser has its good and bad points. The way I have opera set up and tweaked other browsers just seem cumbersome. May be something to think about and try?

MaTrIxMaN Posted November 5, 2007 CID Share Posted November 5, 2007 If you still have that prog you could email it to me Ill be glad to look at it.
