Currently we have a modem from our internet provider that allows internet connection to one system at a time. Recently my significant other got an Xbox360 and so of course wants to go online with it... He keeps saying, "we need a router". I've only had experience with Linksys and I admit I didn't really know what I was doing, but it didn't' go very well lol. I think we ended up returning it. So I was wondering if anyone could recommend a router to me, and other information, such as how do you set a different password than the default and all those fun security things that a lot of people forget or don't know to do. Thanks for any help

@ Fran

Thanks for the replies, GT500 & ah, that's good to know I don't think I am really experiencing it after all by the way... its been holding steady between like 24,000K and 28,000K now... maybe mine just spiked for a bit after an update.

I am not sure I understand correction the conversion from K to MB... how many K (is K the same as kilobytes, by the way)? are in a MB? Also, what is "normal" for memory usage by Malwarebytes on a computer? Running XP, SP3 here, all updated. Anyway, so when I turn on my computer tonight (it was in hibernation, its usually restarted or turned off once a week, otherwise its left in Hibernate most of the time), after updating, I checked the usage. It was 102,000 K. Then it went down to 86,000 after about 5 minutes or so, give or take. I restarted my computer, then took a look again. It was at 40,000 - 40,500 K. Edit: Now its nearly at 42,000 K. Few seconds later, 42,300, then 42,328... Edit again: Now its at 42,192, oop, now its at 42,300 its creeping up slowly... So nearly a half hour after I originally posted this... Mbamservice is down to 30,000K.

Elysion Zero, hello and welcome to Malwarebytes.org A fix is being worked on. The more people that help the team figure out whats going on here, the better. Also, when replying, please use the "Add reply" button at the bottom of the page. Thank you

Alexx, There are honorary members, rogue reporters, etc.. here that are very knowledgeable in different things with computers (aside from Malware removal - ONLY Experts etc... are authorized to help with that and only in the malware removal forum). If you hang around here, after a while you'll get a feel for who knows what and who you're comfortable taking advice from. And like Baz. said, only take advice from people if you feel comfortable doing it, especially if you don't know that they are an Expert etc... here As for Experts, etc... please see the link that AdvancedSetup gave you That should give you an idea of who can help you with what in terms of Malware removal. Many of those people also are very knowledgeable in general computer knowledge (help aside from malware) and they can be trusted to give you help. As for me, personally, I don't help someone or give an answer to something unless I am positive or nearly positive on what the answer is, and if I am not sure, I ask for help. I don't know a whole lot yet but I am learning slowly but surely, and I jump in and help people when I can. I hope that this helps clear that up for you! Also, just as a side note, when replying, please use the "add reply" button at the bottom of the page or erase what the person you are replying to said, as this makes the forum easier to read. Thank you

@ chicagobeers I'm sure people will try it out when they see it, its rather late for a lot of people currently. I'd definitely try it out if I were having the issue, but I am not.

Well said, Tom

@ Chicagobeers If you aren't comfortable doing that, then don't. Please read TeMerc's post just above my last post. Read it entirely, and you'll see why it won't be a quick, easy fix.

@ TeMerc & everyone else.... I wish I could help with this issue but my usage isn't nearly as high and I haven't experienced any issues, at least as of yet. I unticked IP protection and the K usage actually seemed to go up a little bit. I'll keep my eye on it though.

@ chicagobeers http://www.malwarebytes.org/forums/index.p...st&p=180488 Swandog is a developer & works for Malwarebytes, you can trust him! See if what he said helps.

When I am at my computer again Marco, I'll try disabling stuff in Mbam and see what happens to the memory usage. Thanks, I'll try. You have a nice day too

@ evilfantasy woohoo
