Possible memory leak

$

Hi, recently I've noticed my comp has been having issues with slowing down a lot after being on for a day, I decided to start looking into the processes yesterday and noticed 1 svchost.exe process using 1.7gb of ram, about 8 hours later it was using 2.6gb of ram. After rebooting the readings went down to a more normal looking level with the physical memory use while a couple of programs are running being about 50% (my system has 4gb of ram)
I have been keeping task manager open and watching the memory usage, most of the svc processes increase slowly with occasional small dips but the increase is very slow, there is however 1 process that is increasing by about 1mb every 3-5 minutes. This process is the one involving network programs (winhttpautoproxy, wdiservicehost, nsi, netprofm, fontcache and fdphost)
I hear all these processes are linked to server 2008 which i didn't think was installed and thought wasn't needed on a standard home computer.
I double checked and ran a malware scan and a virus scan which both came back clear, so i have no idea what is causing such a rapid memory drain.
