If you're not tech savvy, poking through your computer looking at things you don't understand is a great way to waste all of your time and induce panic for no reason.

It's like if you popped the hood of your car and pointed at random slightly worn/greasy parts asking the car subreddits "is my engine going to blow up from this?"

All of this is normal stuff. Let your security software and Windows itself do it's job.

I've never heard a more pompous self inflated ego

I’m not a mechanic at all, and I won’t ever pretend to be one or claim I am, so I know for a fact if I see something that to me looks out of place in a car, then I’ll ask if it’s broken or not, when it could be perfectly fine. Same concept with Task Manager

and then you should get an actual answer instead of being brought down by a bunch of incels on reddit

I don’t disagree with you, the way some people “help” is a bit… interesting lol.
