Feex tok say
I no dey call process malware just because di name look somehow. I dey ask who sign am and where e dey stay.

Wetin process be

Process na running instance of program. E get executable name, process ID, and memory space. Task Manager dey list dose instances. To end process dey stop dat instance. E no dey uninstall di app.

Windows vs app wey you install

explorer.exe, dwm.exe, and csrss.exe belong to Windows. chrome.exe and Discord.exe belong to apps. Di publisher and di folder go tell you which one be which. Feex Wiki split dem into Windows and application families.

Wetin make dem plenty

Browsers dey split tabs. Windows dey split Service Host groups. COM Surrogate dey start extra hosts for previews. Plenty copies na design, no be count of infections.

Safety without panic

Filename alone no be proof of safety. Correct name for wrong folder na wetin suppose make person look well well. No delete System32 files because one list talk say dem suspicious.
