    Why is Antimalware Service Executable running with third-party antivirus?


    Hello, I recently installed Avast on my PC, and the service "antimalware service executable" is still running. Is it supposed to still run with another antivirus installed? I am also getting security intelligence updates for windows defender when I update my PC. I already tried reinstalling avast. Any suggestions?Thanks,Isaac

    Antimalware Service Executable

    Hello,

    Currently I'm facing a problem with the antimalware service executable. It uses half of my memory, I did tried some solutions such as: Change Windows Defender’s schedule and Add Antimalware Service Executable to Windows Defender exclusion list. However, none of these solutions has yet fixed my issue. Any help is appreciated.

    Should I install another antivirus program?

    2 Antimalware service executables

    What you see is likely normal for Windows 11.

    The first part that shows Antimalware Service Executable > Microsoft Defender Antivirus Service

    is just the one process - as it is in Windows 10.

    It is MsMpEng.exe which is the executable running as the WinDefend service.



    Antimalware Service Executable Content Process is MsMpEngCP.exe. I'm not entirely sure of this executables purpose though it seems to have something to do with definition updates. I suspect it holds all the virus signature information in memory.
