    Powershell using up high ram suspiciously for no reason


    From a month or so I have seen powershell pop up suddenly on my computer screen and then just go away. I thought it was some internal process and at start there were 4-5 powershell processes in task manager occupying around 40mb each. Later after 30mins - 1hour or so each is taking up more than 100mb upto 200mb, eating up all my ram. Sometimes my laptop hangs for this reason reaching 90% of available ram. I've seen two similar posts on this : 1. Powershell suspiciously high ram usage - Microsoft Community : I followed the steps mentioned but i couldn't find any powershell, ps1 or rundll entry

    Powershell suspiciously high ram usage

    Lately, Powershell pops up for less than a second, and I see it hogging 2 GB of ram in the task manager. It's obviously malware, but I can't seem to remove it.

    In a similar post here. the moderator adviced the user to download a recovery tool from the following link:

    Download Farbar Recovery Scan Tool

    Then, the user had to scan the PC with it, upload 2 logs and proceed with the removal. Anyone here who can help me fix this thing? Obviously virous scanning with WIndows Defender and BitDefender didn't work...

    Powershell sudden high ram usage

    After some time of turning on the pc, Windows PowerShell pops up for an instant and disappears instantly. After that the Windows PowerShell keeps running in the background and takes too much ram causing the pc to work slow. It takes more than 4 gb of ram. It also takes high amount of cpu usage. Is my pc being hacked? How to solve this problem?
