    Cannot turn off antimalware service executable with high memory usage because Norton has...


    I turned on real time protection on windows defender which was then stopped because I'm also using Norton. Stupid mistake I know. It basically means that I cannot turn real time protection on or off because the switch has been disabled by Norton getting in the way. It has been set as off, however I believe it is working because antimalware service executable is still running and, on top of other tasks which I need running, is enough to slow down my computer and prevent me from running games without the fluctuations in framerate making me want to throw my pc out my window.]I have tried to setti

    Antimalware Service Executable, high cpu, memory and disk usage

    I'm having the high CPU usage and it appears that antimalware service executable is to blame. Yes, I had Norton installed and used the removal tool. What do you think could be the problem?

    Antimalware Service Executable very high disk usage

    For me, the Antimalware Service Executable still eats up my disk usage, but since the above suggestion made it so that it only happens while the machine is idle, that is okay for me. I haven't noticed any annoyance from it since.

    (Of course, if I had programs running while not on the machine that also needed a lot of disk operations, the solution would not have worked for me, since then Antimalware Service Executable would interfere with those programs.)

    If you are still experiencing problems, perhaps try disabling Antimalware Service Executable and the other service you mentioned (that I don't know) completely? Of course, that is assuming you can live with not having them.

    (I don't think there is a way to change how much disk operations the program needs, so when it runs, it'll always have high disk usage if your disk is quite slow)
