computer help re. windows memory warning

Beats me.

Hit it with a hammer till the warning disappears.

You're approaching the maximum number and size of files in 'puter, a defrag and disc cleanup will probably help. Otherwise, consider buying an external hard drive to back up your less essential files and get them off your internal hard drive to free up space.

both are memory hogs. In firefox close most of your zillion tabs then use Memory Fox addon.

Turn AVG scan schedule off and run the scan only when you'll be away from the confuser during the scan.

reboot ur computer lol

Mind boggling that the users of this site continue to support a eugenicist by using a shitty is like windows.

lol.

i put my last laptop in a bath of water to clean it.
was possibly drunk in the procedure.

Your Ram could be dieing.

Find a program to scan your memory. Then scan your HD just in case.

I doubt it was anything serious. Memory warnings happen allot when Windows does the stupid.

I got the warning again.
In addition to "close avg and firefox," it said it had to close "quick access."

I am nontech.

Thanks for the replies thus far.

It has to be real simple for me, otherwise I am liable to by myself do real damage because I don't know protocol.

OP which version of windows are you running?
and how much RAM do you have?

If I had to guess you either have a bunch of useless background processes or your ram is going to fail. Go to your task manager and google some of your processes to see if theyre malware.

I believe this is windows 7.
Where would I find out re. RAM?

I would say its your virtual memory. Try freeing up hard drive space by deleting some stuff.

Windows has something called a paging file you can find this in control panel>system>advanced system settings>performance settings>Advanced>virtual memory. Here you can change the paging file size or at least see how much free space you need to free up on your drives.

For example, My paging file size is roughly 6gb. This means there needs to be 6gb free on each hard drive for your computer to function properly.

Right click on my computer and choose properties

Control panel>System

OK.
Task manager has 77% memory and firefox has 121 MB.

How do I close firefox tabs?

OK. I think it's a virus or something.
The windows pop-up said to close malwarebytes.
If it hit malwarebytes, is it best to delete what I have and reload since I just had the fastest scan ever (10 minutes).

Thanks to all who respond.

What you Need to do is a Hard power OFF or UN PLUG your computer then power it back up and let it boot.

I shut off computer and then turned it on after a few hours.
Warning popped up. I think this is some kind of malware.

Make a screen shot.
