Hello,I HAVE AN ALL NEW SYSTEM W/ASUS M5A87 MB, AMD FX 4100 PROCESSOR,NEW KINGSTON 4 GB DDR3,NEW SATA 2 RADEON 5450 VIDEO CARD & NEW MAXTOR SATA 320 GB DRIVE. RUNNING XP PRO,THE PROBLEM IS IF I LOOK ATAFEW DIFFERENT ITEMS ON A WEB PAGE LIKE E-BAY ITS NOT LONG BEFORE MY ANTI-VIRUS AVG POPS UP A MESSAGE USING LARGE AMOUNTS OF MEMORY USUALLY 560 + MB'S & RECOMMENDS I CLOSE WEB PAGE & LEAVE THE INTERNET TO RECOVER MEMORY. I EMPTY MY TEMP FILES OFTEN INCLUDING IE EXPLORER WEB PAGE CACHE. IS THIS A SIGN OF BAD MEMORY OR A BUG IN XP PRO OR SOMETHING ELSE? ANY HELP OR ADVISE WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED. JRJ 1950

You don't have an issue. If those messages bother you, get a different antivirus application or configure AVG to stop popping up annoying messages.

I also recommend uninstalling AVG and installing Microsoft Securities Essentials in its place.

U can use Avast along with Malwarebytes and Comodo Firewall that is free, but got great results in defending your PC. And u can configure it to your satisfaction with ease.
Avast! -- Free Antivirus
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware -- helps you defeat Malware once and for all
SUPERAntiSpyware -- Advanced Detection and Removal
Comodo Internet Security -- The best free Firewall

AVG monitors applications memory utilization and it warns the user whenever it significantly increases. The warning can be disabled.
