Just installed Mountain Lion on MacBook Pro. The memory keeps filling up as inactive till it reboots. Only software update and mail running. Anybody have this problem?

So far it seems that Sophos 7.x is a big problem. I've removed it and Mountain Lion seems to be stable.

Sophos does have a version available that is compatible with Mountain Lion:

I haven't tried it yet, so I have no idea how well it works. Of course, you could easily just not reinstall it. See my Mac Malware Guide.

Thanks for the info, The new 8.x Sophos works with ML and the memory leak has stopped. 7.x Sophos makes a ML mac unusable. A user only has a few minuties to troubleshoot before the system crashes.
