Hi all.
Is this safe to use?
I post the question at kaspersky forum before.
It is becos KIS detect it as adware.
But i thinks it is quite useful to reduce the firefox usage ram.
Please leave down your feedback and suggestion to me.
TQ

It doesn't seem to be posted at any of the major download sites but pirate sites show up in a google for it......

And here's a brief discussion at Kaspersky forum about it.........

Virus or not, that is the kind of thing that will eventually cause some real problems for (unaware) Firefox users, and in the end Firefox itself.
I know it's not possible, but I would personally like to see every extension for Firefox go through the Mozilla review and clearance process.

It uses the Win32 API call EmptyWorkingSet() every 5 seconds, according to the author. You can do the same thing with empty.exe (comes with the Windows Resources Kit) in a batch file or Windows Script Host script. No need for his executable. And it is snake oil. There's no such thing as a free lunch.
