Virtualizing Legacy Hardware
Companies like Stromasys specialise in virtualizing legacy hardware. This allows software for DEC/PDP machines, for example, to run on modern Windows servers.
With hardware emulation, the legacy operating system and application(s) continue to run without any modifications or recompilation of code.

Antimalware Service Executable Gorging on CPU
The Antimalware Service Executable is part of Windows Defender. It can consume high CPU and RAM (120MB-140MB is not untypical) and render your machine unusable.
You can check its scheduled runs from "Task Scheduler". You can also gain an understanding of the Conditions under which it runs, from the "Conditions" tab in Task Scheduler. An example (and typical setting) may be "start the task only if the computer is on AC power".
The Microsoft Security blog underlings some of the thinking behind Windows Defender.

The IronPython Implementation
The IronPython implementation is different from regular Python.
For starters, it's built on top of the .NET Framework (in the same way that other .NET languages are built on top of the .NET Framework). In this setup, Python stack frames and bytecode objects don't exist. Code objects cannot be pickled.
Another consequence is that C extension modules cannot be used from IronPython.
