  1. Anti-malware Executable usage HIGH


    I am looking for a bone here. Antimalware Service is using 50% of my CPU and I cannot do anything on my laptop. I cant even pull up the windows menu to open a program cause my CPU is maxing out. I have done endless google searches for what to do and I have done everything I can think of, but it is still hogging my CPU like crazy. Here is what I did:



    • Change Windows Defender’s scheduling options
    • Add Antimalware Service Executable to Windows Defender’s exclusion list
    • Temporarily Disabled Windows Defender and other settings via gpedit
    • Check Partition and Clear up Junk Files
    • Disable Windows Defender from the Registry
    • Anything else I can look at? This is driving me nuts.



    Thank you!!!

  2. anti malware service executable

    I did a complete scan on the PC through Windows defender (win 10) and I saw anti malware service executable in the task manager. It's the first time I do a complete scan. Question: Was this in the task
    manager before or I didnt notice it?. I read that it is wasting a lot of cpu usage. If I close it, my pc will be vulnerable to malwares?. Thanks in advance!

  3. McAffee and Emsisoft Anti Malware

    I personally use Emsisoft Anti-Malware and IMO it is far better than McAfee...

    If you decide to use Emsisoft, please make sure to fully uninstall McAfee with the help of their specific removal tool from this List
    of anti-malware product removal tools
    before you install Emsisoft.

    Suggestion to read:


    FYI:

    I've asked a moderator to remove the best buy link in your post. If you want to buy Emsisoft Anti Malware then it's best to go directly to their site: emsisoft.com
