After using MusicMatch Jukebox (or any other audio software) for a few hours a file called "mixer.exe" (seen in the Windows Task Mgr.) begins growing in increments of 8 until uses all available space on my HD, bringing my system to a crawl.
The only way to stop this problem is to right-click on, and close the "mixer.exe" branch in Windows Task mgr. BEFORE it grows too big.

Tony, Have you updated your virus definitions and run a full virus scan? It may be a virus. Check out the may links/threads at the link below, especially the 8th link from the top of page 1.

No he's looking at it wrong. It's not growing in actualy file size it's growing in the amount of memory it's using causing the PC to get slow. That's just usually a sign of a memory leak in a buggy program.
