    Antimalware executable is taking up all of my memory.


    Antimalware executable is taking up like 15 -25 % of my memory. I tried many forms such as command prompts e.g sfc /scannow and DISM /Cleanup-image you get the drill.Its really frustrating as I'm playing and its affecting my gameplay fully. I no longer have the nice smooth gameplay I had. I clean booted my pc because last time I had a malware and afraid it might've spread to mine again??If I try to disable it from task manager the message just denys me.
