What is this ‘python’ process I found running in my Task Manager?

You should definitely check what the process is about. If it's named 'python', it could be a script running for various programs that rely on Python. It's pretty common, so don't panic too much. Just to be safe, you could run a scan with Windows Defender to see if there's any suspicious activity.

Just to clarify, are you sure it doesn't say 'Phython' instead of 'Python'? Double-checking might help clear up any confusion. A lot of programs use Python behind the scenes, so it's usually nothing to stress over.

I agree with checking the process name. Many applications depend on Python, especially if they're running scripts or tasks in the background. Running a security scan is a good idea if you're concerned about it.
