Windows Defender using heaps of RAM

[Cozar465]

WIndows defender is using around 500MB - 2GB of RAM

 

I currently have 16GB of 3200MHz RAM

 

Is this normal

 

THANKS

just tell windows defender to heck off and download some viruses like a big boy B)

 

some processes can spontaneously take more rations of RAM than they should. Just restart it in task manager and it should fix itself. If windows defender gives you lip when you restart it, tell it youre the boss, grab it by the throat, and tell it to restart anyways....
