live messenger using 400MB of ram

This probably isn't a messenger problem but more likely this application,
but as it's only started happening after upgrading to the latest version....

Spotted messenger 'leaking' memory - after attaching windows debugger, the
debugger set there spamming:

ModLoad: 01790000 01797000 C:\Program Files\JAM
Software\SpamAware\oehook.dll
ModLoad: 76080000 760e5000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSVCP60.dll
ModLoad: 01790000 01797000 C:\Program Files\JAM
Software\SpamAware\oehook.dll
ModLoad: 76080000 760e5000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSVCP60.dll
ModLoad: 01790000 01797000 C:\Program Files\JAM
Software\SpamAware\oehook.dll
ModLoad: 76080000 760e5000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSVCP60.dll
ModLoad: 01790000 01797000 C:\Program Files\JAM
Software\SpamAware\oehook.dll
ModLoad: 76080000 760e5000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSVCP60.dll
ModLoad: 01790000 01797000 C:\Program Files\JAM
Software\SpamAware\oehook.dll
ModLoad: 76080000 760e5000 C:\WINDOWS\system32\MSVCP60.dll

I've normally only seen a modload line once under the windows debugging
tools before, so i'm assuming that the cause of the memory leaking is this
module being loaded over and over again - it's an freeware app from
http://www.jam-software.com/freeware/index.shtml who write several good
tools.

Posting this here in case other people have seen anything similar. Does the
new version of messenger interact with outlook express to check unread email
messages in a different way to the previous version?

Greetings Paul,

I was hoping someone would do this, as so far the so-called "leaks" reported have been
unreproducable on my own machine.

Windows Live Messenger isn't supposed to integrate with OE at all actually so this is quite
interesting..

I'll try reproducing this a little later tonight and see what happens here.
