This is my first post, so pardon me if it's in the wrong place or inadequate.
When I was on my computer today, I got a message telling me my ram usage was high. I went to task manager, and found that ~13.5 of my 16 gigs of ram was being used. I closed as much as I could to try to clear it up, but that didn't work. The only thing I have running is AVG, which I started after this whole thing. If there's any extra info you guys need, just ask me. Thanks.

Edit: Fixed some typos
 
Solution
Might boot into safe mode and run a virus scan and also a malware scan (you mentioned AVG - MalwareBytes has a good free version of their Malware scanner)
