It’s fine to disable the antimalware service if it’s consuming too much memory. The trade-off between security and performance is personal—consider turning it off unless you notice significant slowdowns.

What memory is being utilized? Your current RAM usage is what you're seeing. Usually I keep it active, but if Defender is consuming sufficient memory to create problems, it might be time to upgrade your system's RAM.

A lot of RAM refers to a substantial amount of memory, typically staying under 200MB, which is considered reasonable for most systems. If this size feels excessive for your setup, it might affect performance. For any device linked to the internet, it’s advisable to have an antivirus active. Keep it enabled unless you intend to disconnect it completely from online networks.

Most malware comes from files you install yourself, and Windows Defender helps a lot. But if you understand what you're doing and avoid these programs altogether, you might not need the protection. Before Windows Defender existed, there was no such tool.

I’ve found a few cracked programs and have some coding experience, so I’m not easily caught off guard. I usually run antivirus software and keep a firewall active. It might be running on my new PC, but it’s better to be cautious. Stay safe.

Explore freely without it active, and you might face unexpected problems later. The truth is, you're not just at risk from viruses when clicking random download links—there are other ways they can sneak in. Avoid relying on outdated antivirus tools; modern solutions offer better protection with less strain on your system. Let the software handle its duties.
