    Under taskmanager I have 2 TaskHostw.exe’s running. Is that normal?


    Straight to the point, I have 2 taskhost.exe files running, there command lines are: taskhostw.exe{a ton of numbers and letters} taskhostw.exe $Arg0On start I also have taskhostw.exe sync cloud or something similar. And occasionally just taskhostw.exe the command line is the same. The TaskHostw$Arg0 seems to go away after a little while but it’s not there on start up it’s a minute or so after startup I have followed the file path and they both lead toUser/Windows/System32I have done a full system scan and nothing has been picked up, I also did a specific scan of that .exe in

    :)
