I use Win 8.1 at work. Fresh install since Dec 20 2015. After many updates, this low memory warning started to pop up by April 2nd. The only program installed before this date is VMware, which I run full screen some time. Out of 8 Gb, memory never went up from 40% used ( I tried every program I used at the same time) No virus involved with this Win 8.1 "feature"

So, today I disabled the Virtual memory (no PageFile.sys on root folder) and I loaded the memory (8Gb) with two Virtual Machines (VM) and other programs until free memory was less than 1GB.

Only at this point, Windows showed the Low Memory warning. I'd deduce that there's a problem with the Virtual Memory Management.

A virus doesn't make any sense in my case. I didn't have this problem until I updated the gaming client Origin. First I thought I had a memory leak with Dragon Age: Origins. I even took it off and reinstalled to see if I could solve any issues. A week later (today) I'm now seeing Firefox pop up with the same alert. It's a Win 8.1 bug, not a virus. I'm very computer savvy and usually figure out what I've downloaded that has malware. I make note of unchecking those sneaky boxes. If some form of virus/malware showed up, I'd know within 5 minutes of it happening.

Exact same problem on two different laptops.

Used only for browsing and Word. I don't even save any files to the computers - I use an external drive.

But keep getting stupid warning message about low memory.
