Skype memory leak
September 27th, 2007 | by useful | in Rants |I use Skype for talking with my family and cheap long distance. But when I brought up my task list today I saw Skype hogging my memory. Sadly, there isn’t much you can do except restart Skype every so often.
What you can do is delete \Program Files\Skype\Plugin Manager\skypePM.exe because it does nothing and can eat up as much as 30MB of ram doing nothing. PM stands for Plug-in Manager but if you have never enabled or disabled plugins for Skype you don’t need it and can safely delete or rename the file.

154 MB… Well that was last year. I now have Skype that eats 1,5GB memory
