    Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Remover is using up my memory?


    Hi i have new device and it started lagging soon after a new windows install. In task manager I can see that Malicious Software remover is using up almost 40% of my memory and COM surrogate also jumps up with high memory usage.

    Can someone please point out what might be the problem?
