    Is my Antimalware service executable a virus?


    Hi, im having issues with Antimalware service executable using constantly high memory. I have disabled windows defender in every way possible including reg edits and the file still runs the exact same. I am also running 3rd party antivirus software and that has no effect either. If you have any insight please let me know.Thanks,

    :)
