  1. Antimalware Service Executable is killing me.. please help


    A few days ago I sat at my computer only to find it burning hot (by far the hottest I’ve ever felt it), as Antimalware Service Executable was sucking nearly all the CPU & Ram. It has been days, I have tried everything I can find and have spent hours trying to fix this issue. The the computer is so sensitive even running chrome causes huge spikes in CPU use. Hoping someone has recently solved this issue
