Antimalware Service Executable constantly running

[Brumboy]

Hi,

So for the past week, Antimalware Service Executable has started to constantly run in the background.

As soon as I turn the PC on, it keeps spiking up using up to 30% CPU usage.

Even with no programs running it does this, causing the PC to slow down.

I have changed nothing. I have no idea what is causing this but it's really annoying.

Any idea's how to stop it?

Thanks!

Sorry for the late reply!

I have done all the above checks and nothing stands out. I have ran a complete scan and the service still spikes to 30% almost constantly slowing down the entire system.

I have disabled it too and that doesn't even stop it from running which is strange?

Any other idea's?
