If it's a true memory leak, no utility will touch it. The memory won't get released until the application itself releases it. These "utilities" simply cause Windows to flush unused memory and don't really accomplish much of anything as Windows will release the memory on demand anyhow. I've spent weeks and weeks fighting certain memory leaks. The problem is that the app allocates it and keeps it allocated. There is nothing external to the app that will cause the app to release the allocated memory if it is indeed a true memory leak.
