I was playing Overwatch and noticed my memory usage hit 96%. I checked the Task Manager and saw that half of my 16GB RAM is marked as "compressed in use." Should I be worried that my computer is hacked or is this a normal behavior?

It's totally normal! When your RAM utilization is high, like during gaming, Windows compresses some of it to optimize performance and prevent your system from swapping to disk. So, you shouldn’t be concerned about hacks or anything.
Got it, but is running at 96% memory usage bad for my PC's health?
