    "Service Host: Secondary Logon" - What Does This Mean? Am I Compromised?


    I noticed a process in my Windows 10 Task Manager called "Service Host: Secondary Logon" and that worries me because it makes it sound like there's another user who has access to my PC I'm the only user accountI checked my family's Windows 11 laptop and did not find any process with the same name. what is this process? am I in danger of anything? does someone have access to the PC? I have already run MalwareBytes and Windows Defender Full Scan with 0 detectionscan anyone explain what this Secondary Logon process is?

    :)

    Browser /connection security, hosts file and DNS service

    You're saying that Open DNS(and other services like it) house their own list of known 'bad' sites, and by using their DNS servers, it will filter out sites based on that list?

    Would you believe I was already using Open DNS servers.
    This means the hosts file is moot?

    And furthering that, if there's any bespoke sites I want to manually add, I could do it through my router directly.

    Thus I can empty my local hosts file and turn my DNS service back on?

    Hi, as I understand it, this is the 'runas' command.

    For detail, open a Command Prompt window, and enter
    runas /?
