Memeory Usage has increased to 80% while computer sitting still

I think something has infected my computer and is using my memory resources.
I use Norton Security Suite and it is akways up to date.
How do I find if it infected or maybe I have a memory leak?

Thanks

Hi,

Uninstall Norton, see if the problem disappears. Symantec's software is
often the cause, not the cure, to performance problems.

of course...
Symantec and other vendors write poor software.
Microsoft never does.

Oh, they've been guilty as well. Just that Symantec tends to take the lead
on this.
