Windows Defender a memory hog! Change default settings?
In the last month o two it seems like my laptop is running a little slower at times. Memory used % is always high 30s to low 50s.

"Antimalware Service Executable" runs between 40mb and 150mb. Could this be the problem?

Would you suggest I change any of the default settings?

I also run the free version of Malwarebytes and "MB Service" is sitting at 147mb right now.

TIA
