Hey again,

Anti-malware always takes some ram but I dont have problem for a long time. It ran average speed, something you expect from hdd. I played games without any problem. The weird thing about this is that it only takes 0.1 Mb/s. Normal apps takes more but fast. This system process is taking so much of hdd that Every application is like 10 times slower. Opera keep going not responding. I updated again but no luck. When I scroll on Youtube, it takes 2-5 seconds to respond. It ran just fine two days ago. I don't want to reset cause Their is lot of heavy apps that will be pain to install like premiere pro some heavy games etc. I have holiday for 3 more days. After their is exams. So, if possible please help me fix these issues.
