That's one large footprint of memory.

I use Nod32, Superantispyware, Comodo, spywareblaster and they only add upto 42,000k - a third less memory

I second NOD32.

In addition to that i use NoAdware and Lavasoft NoAdware.

Never had a virus/trojan on this PC ever (3 years).

thats why im considering reverting back to what i had, it was high because it was running a scan but avg didnt reach that amount when that did a scan, ive stopped the scan and its at 24k
