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.
