title: Powershell 3.0 Get-Process sometimes returns negative values for memory on a process?
body: <p>I am curious how this can happen ?
  my command was only</p>
  
  <pre><code>get-process
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the process is running and consuming some memory for sure, but why can WS(K) and VM(M) have negative values? (btw. I don't know exactly what WS and VM stands for)
  I am using PowerShell 3.0</p>
  
  <p>since I run a powershell script which checks the values and reports me if the value is below 0, I now get a mail because it's below 0 :)</p>
  
  <p>How can I convert that into the value, no matter if it is negative or positive? </p>
