I'm aware that it's a known issue that the process does not shut down after closing the last IE window. However, I also noticed that each time I open a new IE window (after have all my previous IE windows were closed), the memory usage of the AdblockPlusEngine.exe process increases and it does not go down. I've repeated this numerous times: I open a window, then close it and inspect the memory usage. At first it was at 164MB. Then I open a new IE window and inspect the memory usage, and I see that it increased to around 180MB. Repeating the procedure several more times and now I am at 231MB.
The second issue I came across is that white listing doesn't seem to work. I attempting to white list neowin.net, but I do not see any ads.
AdblockPlusEngine.exe process and white list issue
Re: AdblockPlusEngine.exe process and white list issue
It's ok for me, the memory usage of AdblockPlusEngine.exe is reseted to ~50 Mo when I start a new instance of IE after having closed the older ones. What is your configuration?However, I also noticed that each time I open a new IE window (after have all my previous IE windows were closed), the memory usage of the AdblockPlusEngine.exe process increases and it does not go down.

Re: AdblockPlusEngine.exe process and white list issue
We've released a new devbuild addressing a bunch of issues, including the persistent engine process today. Please report it if you're still seeing memory usage like that after updating, >200MB sounds like leak.
