Mike Butcher warns us about the system and bandwidth resource usage of a Joost component
The result of this is that even if you aren’t running Joost “full blown” and instead leaving it in “standby” mode, unlike Skype, you are still sharing your bandwidth and eating up your system resources. Windows showed tvprunner.exe using about 165,000K of memory! That’s 165 megabytes. This can be turned off through “Preferences” settings, so technically it’s not something malicious from Joost, but the default is switched to “on” making it a somewhat self-serving move by Joost.
