Trying to figure out what's using my RAM

Question

A couple of weeks ago I starting to notice that my memory was getting chewed up slowly until I'd hit around 20MB remaining. the only way that I could free up the space is through 3rd party memory utilities such as FreeMemory. It appears on further inspection memory appears to go inactive, but this isn't very healthy, yet very odd, so I'm trying to figure out if there's a memory leak somewhere.
Any help would be wonderful. Below is my Etracheck log. I've attempted to remove alll external hard drives and other devices connected via either thunderbolt and USB with no change. Rebooted a few times however the memory gets eaten right up again.
My initial thought was that it's somehow VMWare however my Windows 7 instance is running at a fixed rate, and even with the instance shut down, my computer would still eat up any available memory.
Thank you!

Answer 1

You have waaaaaay, waaaaaay too much software and "garbageware" installed on your Mac!
Plus, you are treating your Mac too, tooo much like a Windows PC!
Are you a former WindowsPC user?
You do not need all of this software crap and "garbageware" you have installed on your Mac.
How many applications do you run simultaneously in the background while working in another application?
With 16 GBs of RAM, you should not be experiencing any memory Page out issues. Yet, you have over a GB of memory Page outs!
You are, probably running tooo many applications at once. You need to cut back the amount of open applications that you have up and running concurrently OR install even MORE RAM!
Your year and model Mac can take up to 32 GBs of RAM.
Correct and reliable Mac RAM can be purchased from online Mac RAM sources Crucial memory or OWC (macsales.com).
Unless you are running Kaspersky antivirus software under your Windows setup, completely uninstall this from OS X per instructions on the developer's website.
OS X does not need antivirus software. Antivirus software can slow down the normal operation of OS X and have adverse and negative effects on performance and operation of OS X.
Compleley uninstall CleanMyMac per the instructions on the developer's website.
http://macpaw.com/support/cleanmymac/knowledgebase/how-to-uninstall-cleanmymac-2
Again, you have waaaaay toooo many user startup/login items!
You need to really, REALLY, look at these at determine what you need to have launch at startup or Login.
You really need to whittle this waaaay down!
All of these items launching at startup/login is causing a large part of your Mac slowdowns.
Add or remove automatic items
Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Users & Groups.
Select your user account, then click Login Items.
Do one of the following:
Click Add below the list on the right, select an app, document, folder, or disk, then click Add.If you don’t want an item’s windows to be visible after login, select Hide. (Hide does not apply to servers, which always appear in the Finder after login.)
Select the name of the item you want to prevent from opening automatically, then click Delete below the list on the right.
Google software is ,currently, not 100% compatible/compliant with OS X Mavericks. Especially Google Chrome and Drive.
So, uninstall all Google software per the instructions on Google's website until Google posts an "official" fix/update for these.
If you do not like Apple's Safari Web browser, try using Mozilla Firefox, instead. Mozilla constantly updates FireFox and there is a new update available.
Also, Telestream Flip4Mac plugin is an issue on OS X Mavericks. If there is no Mavericks update for this plugin, then completely unistall this plugin per instructions on the Telestream website. Use the newest version of VLC player, instead.
Completely Uninstall MacFUSE. There hasn't been any updates for this in a couple of years and is outdated and incompatible with Mavericks. Uninstall per instructions on the developer's website, also.
You need to update all of your third party software if there are OS X Mavericks updates that can be applied.
You may need to,ACTUALLY,  go to the third party developers' websites if there are no updates through the Mac App Store.
Update all of your Web browser Internet plugins, extensions and add ons, also.
Also, if you have any connected third party devices, like non-Apple keyboards, mice, drawing tablets, hubs, card  readers, etc, you need to go to the device makers' websites' and update the drivers for these devices to OS X Mavericks compatible versions, if available, applicable and needed.
Good Luck to you!
