    Well, the title basically says it all. Everytime I load up steam, and start playing Counter Strike: Source and then shut it down when I'm done, I notice that my fingerprint reader program (Protector Suite QL or psqltray.exe) shoots up in memory usage, like enormously. It's usually at or under 20k but after using CS:S, it would go up to 200,000k or 300,000k, causing me to shut it down because of the huge memory usage (and the fact that my laptop fan is louder to due to CPU and memory load).

    The PSQL program I am using is for Vista x64. I tried looking for a new version, but they seem to all yield the same results. Help for a solution would be greatful, I hate shutting down the fingerprint reader!
