    Cleanmem 1.3.0

    Posted on Saturday, October 04 2008 @ 01:45:30 CEST by Thomas De Maesschalck

    Cleanmem is very small as it doesn't need to do much. First off Cleanmem doesn't clean the memory from the processes itself! It asks Windows to do that. When the program starts up it grabs a list of running processes. It then grabs the ID of each process and calls the Windows API EmptyWorkingSet for each processes, Cleanmem of course checks the ignore list and skips those processes. Then Windows cleans the process, and once all the processes have been cleaned Cleanmem closes itself.

    Well that's the part that seems to freak some people out, if the memory is being cleaned then the process itself will suffer! the memory will be pushed to the hard drive! the world will end! And guess what they are wrong. So let me explain why. The API call only removes memory no longer being used by the process. It doesn't touch memory in use.

    Changelog:
    v1.3.0 Added a only list to give the user more control, if a person wishes to have Cleanmem only clean certain processes all they have to do is add them to the list. If the list is blank Cleanmem will clean all processes, of course skipping ones in the ignore list.
