Nowadays 20-30 megs of ram does not seem to be alot, but I don`t seem to be using that much.

i noticed FF can be retarded with RAM
u open like 6 diff pages it takes about 40MB
u close all the pages but one it still takes 40MB

so i decided to use Opera (very recently)

here it is after a reboot,
not as bad, but...still about 20 MB
and when i noticed the 58MB my pc had only been on about 3 hrs or so

Trivia: the technology behind the Giant brand has been proprietary of SunbeltSoftware all along. All three products (MS, Giant, Counterspy) share the same engine and .dll resources.

That is about where I normally would see it myself. Sometimes not quite so high. Did you have it set at a specific time to gather updates or scan your system? Heck... you may even see a jump in useage when new/foreign processes are introduced into your system from the looks of things. Just guessing really though.
