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.
nsi memory leaks fixed yet?

2014-03-28T08:28:47+00:00 Thanks guys for this thread which I found by coincidence while searching for the cause of a nasty memory leak in netio.sys. My system is a Windows Server 2008 R2 with IE9 and everything worked well until around October 2013. On patchday 15 updates had been installed and while looking for information about memory leaks in one of the updates this Thread popped up. Someone mentioned KB2888049 - unrelated to a fix to the problem, but just exact this update introduced the leak. I have deinstalled KB2888049 and now everything is fine again.
Hope that helps,
Klaus

I just ordered a hard drive I plan to use for storage, but I think I'll install a fresh copy of Windows 7 with all the updates and IE 11 and test it for a day or so to see if the svchost.exe memory leak continues on there or not.
