1. I have a memory leak
2. I have a handle leak.
WTF does this mean?

I was hoping someone with a brain would answer.

Sounds like your antivirus is making itself seem important.
Both problems are unfortunately normal. They're basically why your Windows computer seems to run slightly faster after you restart it.

Your thread doesn't ask for help, get out of here.

A memory leak basically just means that an application keeps using RAM without freeing it once it's done. Like it'll use one chunk to store some data, then when it's done it takes another chunk without releasing the first one - the result is the program keeps using more and more RAM (or swap or whatever) until it or something else crashes due to not having enough free memory to continue.
I'm guessing if an antivirus detected it, it means that one of your programs has a known fault and needs to be updated

Never heard of a handle leak before but it looks like it's the same thing, just with the pointers instead of the memory itself - the program is creating 'handles' referring to certain segments of memory but never clears them once it's done so you just end up with a stupid long list of memory addresses, slowing everything down
