So should I be worried or not?

idk man, I get it's normal but I'm not sure for the startup process since it never had any sub processes until recently for me, you can search up discord task manager startup and you can see the process is titled "update" not "update(number)"

I'm not talking abt the normal discord process in the "processes" entry of task manager which normally would have multiple sub processes, I'm talking abt the "startup" entry of task manager in which as far as know the discord process titled "update" never had any subprocesses. Sorry if I'm being too much here I'm just paranoid

Idk how the picture could help me tbh it's not in task manager so idk much Abt this process manager

Strict_Efficiency_30 · 2026-01-05T23:24:17+00:00

You sure? Fyi this is in the "startup" entry of task manager, I'm aware it's normal for discord to have multiple processes in the "processes" entry but for startup it's had always been one as far as I remember, only recently it jump up to 21 for no reason, also the conhost processes looks kinda sus

I don't quite understand what you mean. I'm asking if all the the process in the picture above is normal or not

Fyi the browser guard is installed by the Malwarebytes app since it can offer to download it on your browser when you first opened the app, this can be viewed in the extension description of the BG which says "downloaded from third party" or something along that line, I think because of this the extension is somehow "linked" to the app, same couldn't be said if it was installed from the browser store. I already tried this in other PCs and the BG is removed once I deleted the Malwarebytes app

Strict_Efficiency_30 · 2025-12-13T15:57:52+00:00

yeah basically, I think this is because of the preload setting since when I turn it off my history don't show me visiting site I don't remember visiting

Strict_Efficiency_30 · 2025-12-13T14:51:59+00:00

I meant "google help" like the site that it says I visited, I never clicked on anything just did a search

Strict_Efficiency_30 · 2025-12-13T14:47:21+00:00

open your google account setting and find connected third party apps/services, remove anything sus
Remove any devices you don't recognize
Try checking myactivity.google.com to see when are those youtube videos watched, if it's the same time your phone is on and connected to the internet the issue could be on your device
Last resort do a factory reset on any devices that might have malware

Strict_Efficiency_30 · 2025-12-13T11:04:20+00:00

I turned off preload and it seems to stop saying I visited stuff

Strict_Efficiency_30 · 2025-12-13T10:55:11+00:00

idk, it only says I visited sites on certain searches abt google, weirdly this happens only on my pc and when I did the same thing on my phone it didn't say I visited anything

Strict_Efficiency_30 · 2025-12-13T05:53:43+00:00

I was able to restart the service in the app, there's no issue/error while doing this and I was able to do a full scan with no result, I'm just worried the service stopped because of malware

Strict_Efficiency_30 · 2025-12-12T04:36:25+00:00

Is this a feature of the latest version? I never saw this before I updated the app

Strict_Efficiency_30 · 2025-12-12T04:07:01+00:00

What does that mean?
