Just an FYI, the latest build of Avant has a memory leak that leads to Avant being required to be restarted after anything from an hour to several days, depending on how heavily it's used.

Issue has been confirmed on Vista Home Premium SP2, Vista Home Basic SP2 and XP Pro SP2 and 3.

Can you clarify that it is just v11.7.39 and not the recent build 38 and previous?

Only noticed the issue with .39 (confirmed on several different systems to ensure it wasn't an OS/hardware issue)

Sorry to reply to this old topic, but this memory leak is pretty much old news. Well, I'm not sure if it's THIS memory leak, or not. But there's been a leak since the beginning of version 11. The problem is that it's extremely hard to track what is causing it. It's seemingly randomly occuring on different PCs... (some people have it, some people don't) which leads me to believe it's not actually Avant's fault, but some conflicting software. Leaving Avant Browser open for a couple days has always resulted in high memory usage for me, but it's bearable.

But then again, this could be a new leak that will occur for everyone. I haven't noticed any new leaks more than usual.

I'm not willing to at this time, but if someone want's to test turing off online storage, that might be a possible cause.
