Going to MSN.COM ate 1.5gb of ram for me and is still dropping. I had 2gig free...and by the time I posted this I had none.

Anyone else?

WTF MSN!?!?!?!?

I guess I should add I am using IE7. We had several calls at work (I am home due to the icy conditions here in Dallas) and MSN.com is fucking a lot of things up. Some douche browsed to it from our file server too today....

What the hell is causing this?

not sure if you can blame the person as the default home page of IE is msn...

I closed MSN.com and STILL have 0 ram free. What the hell? Is there a way to fix this without rebooting?

YES! I just noticed this today and it was driving me crazy. I've tested this on 10 different machines from 4 different cities and they ALL act the same.

Edited to say that this is an IE7 issue for us (even with the latest version). Craziness.

I'm seeing it too. Memory is freed as soon as I close the tab though. I'm with bsobel. Probably one of the flash ads or widgets on the page.

Guess that makes it a classic memory leak. Or should I say tsunami?

I've been getting a lot of lockups lately with IE7 + Flash 10, luckily I have a dual-core so I can ctrl-alt-del to kill IE. I didn't get this with older builds of IE 7 and using Flash 9.

I suppose I should install some Flash-ad-blocking software but I want to give ad-supported sites like AT their due.

I've got msn.com open in IE7 right now (the only thing open in IE7) and it's eating up >450MB of memory and then it drops back down to 110MB and starts the cycle all over again.
