PC constantly using 4gb (25%) of RAM

I have noticed for the last few days that my PC is constantly using 4gb which is 25% of my RAM. Is this normal or is something going on? Thanks 🤝
you might be infected, simply what i would reccomend is going into msconfig and checking your startup and check what you have there, simple way its very unusual that you get infected with ring 0's
if you find nothing there do a AV scan
It depends on what you're doing on the PC.
Before you think you're infected, check which apps are running, which start up, what services are running and if there are tasks running.

But feel free to do a scan with NoBot 🤝

Go into task manger and close everything that you aren't using. If that doesn't help then install a really good AV and if there is a virus it will be detected within a week or two.
I guess your PC is infected with any kind of dangerous malware or virus program. Many malware are designed in a way that as it gets installed in the system it eat up all memory space and various malicious activities start performing. Scan your PC with the best antimalware program. Hope this will help you fix the issue.
Most modern day Windows platforms will use close to 4Gb RAM at any given time, this does not necessary mean you are infected. Next time the PC is using 25% of the RAM take a screenshot of the taskmanager process and services. Look for the highest memory hogs. If you are running any video games or many browser tabs then that would easily take up 4Gb.
