Windows 10: Completely Remove Antimalware Service Executable

The Antimalware Service Executable is absolutely destroying my Windows 10 experience. It starts without warning, runs until it decides to stop, and takes up ALL of my memory and disk space. With the laptop I have, and the job I work, this is ENTIRELY unacceptable and I demand to know how to get this piece of garbage memory leak **** software off of my machine before I uninstall Windows and just switch to a GNU+Linux distro. This is horrendous and shameful.
