Perhaps there's an issue with SSL? I really don't know why it's doing it. I've been running mIRC for 30 hours now and it's using 8,152k. I have XP Pro with all the latest patches and no trojans or viruses either, nor spyware. I have no scripts that would affect mem usage either. I have SSL installed for mIRC but I'm not connected to any SSL servers. I'm connected to 3 networks.
I've never noticed a large mem usage since 5.91 and I still don't on 6.15.
Have you actually run 2-3 virus scanners (i.e. AVG) to test yourself for trojans? Many Internet savvy people just assume they haven't got one just because they're knowledgeable...if you haven't, I'd run one just incase. A spyware scan too might be a good idea.
Do either of you connect to IRC or run your computers in a way that the majority average Joe would not? Any special setups?
Regards,
