Thanks for the reply enoskype. It was set for automatic update (1st choice). I've changed it to update at a scheduled time. Will monitor progress and update this page once I've seen how it goes. Cheers :)

IObit Automated Update is a memory hog. Hi I've had the full version of Advanced System Care V3 for about 10 months or so. A couple months ago, I noticed the pc dragging it's heels for normal tasks and checked the Windows Task Manager to see what was causing the hold-up, and IOBit Automated update was showing as using over 95% of the PC's memory on the processes tab. This is now happening every time that the Automated Update sets itself to run - which means I keep shutting it down as the PC is at a virtual standstill. Is this a known issue? And if not, is there anyway to stop it happening? My PC is a Dell XPS 710 (duel core, 6400 with 2GB of RAM & a Nvidia GeForce 8800 GTX graphics card) running Windows XP MCE V2. I have no other known issues, this is the only program that is hogging the memory. Hope you can help. Cheers :)
