Memory Cleaner: Without it, whenever I look away for time enough my RAM usage is through the roof.

I know, people have told me this time and time again, that Windows can manage RAM very well etc etc etc... But if I don't use this little program called MemClean to manage my RAM, every now and then my 8GB(DDR3 1333 Mhz) of ram are all used up, like there's a memory leak.

The only thing keeping it from happening is this MemClean program.

So, is there a even a slight possibility that this little program works, at least in my case?

"The solution for me was simple

1) Open Task Manager

2) Goto the Process table

3) From the menu bar select View > Select Collumns ...

4) Add "Handles" ad then rank the handles column

Right at the top of the list the culprit .exe stood out a mile with 17000 handles (second highest in list had 3000). I googled that and got a very simple fix. Finding out how to identify the culprrit software was the hard part, which took hours of surfing. For me it was the audiodg.exe which was causing the problems, a piece of software that handles audio enchanements and it was a very simple fix in the audio settings. Here's the link just in case that's a common cause"

That's a direct quote from what I believe can cure memory leaks.

Yet, I'd rather...

I would guess, at a 98% probability, that some other application is being a bad actor.
With normal, well behaved applications, a "memory cleaner" should not be needed.

Something else is causing the issue.

Yet, I'd rather not risk it and keep my little program working.
