Talking need help....


I found a VB project and it compresses the processes currently running in the memory. It is magnificent because it almost frees 50% of the memory because of the compression it does. Anyone hu can help where I can find articles about the compression of processes in memory?

You can not compress processes in memory.

If you have to VB project, why not analyze the code?

But you can not compress memory of other running processes.
Unless you mean something else with compressing than I do.

You can't "compress" the memory of any process. what you can do perhaps is free unused memory, or fix memory leaks, that unfortunately most applications tend to leave behind.
Performing any sort of compression/modification in some random memory location could be devastating to the functionality of an application that uses it.
Any remote process modification, requires advanced techniques, which can also be used for illegal purposes, hence this forum doesn't allow such discussion topics.
