Does anyone know if there is a fix for nsi service eating up memory yet?I'm really getting tired of having it eat up to 3 gbs or ram all the time.I have a dump file if the need arises.

I did an experiment by updating from IE9 to IE11 to see if any patches have fixed the issue. Right after the upgrade, NSI was consuming memory faster than ever. I removed the IE11 update backing me down to IE9 again and NSI has been at about 2100 KB for several days. Anyone hear anything about a patch for this bothersome issue?
Hi everyone.
I know... been a while. Well I did a long distance move, and have had an interesting time getting a stretch of up time on the PC. Anyway... IT'S BACK. This is again, a NEW PC build, using the SAME OS version (Win 7 Home Prem 64). And NOW, I also have eliminated my D-Link router from the equation, and also the ISP, and 2wire Modem. I am on a different ISP altogether, with a new modem/router from the new ISP, which did not play nice with my D-Link, hence it's removal. I am going to try uninstalling the above mentioned KB and will report back. All seemed fine yet again, until I decided to update to IE11 to shut up Windows update. If I have to do yet another OS reinstall to remedy the situation, and NEVER let IE update, and disable it from the get go, so be it. But REALLY, why is there NO FIX from MS directly. WE ARE NOT ON XP, SUPPORT US.

Doing this helped me. I was experiencing svchost.exe with this group of services slowly chewing memory. I uninstalled IE 11, then 10, then 9, then update package KB2888049.
When I first booted, nsi as using 3164kb memory, and after leaving my machine on over night, its sitting at 3152kb now.
Hopefully this is the last of my woes, because I've been trying to figure this out for about 2 months.
MS must have slipped a patch into NSI or IE. I have been running 9 days and NSI is only up to 2 MB. Before that, it ran 22 days and peaked around 200 MB and hovered around 120 MB.
I gave uninstalling that update a try. It didn't work. svchost.exe slowly started eating up ram with IE9 as usual. I think the only thing that will fix it is a fresh install. I haven't tried it yet since I've been having other BSOD issues lately.
