I have a Mac and was wondering if anyone could explain some of the processes running on my system.
Some just do not make any sense or where they came from.
Shoud I just put all in "Monitor" or just the ones I do not reconize?
Thanks for the input in advance!!

Hi Kirby
 
You can certainly post those processes here and I am sure that the Mac-knowledgable members will be able to explain or you can Open a Support Ticket, if you are concerned, and ask the Support Team to advise.
 
You can also set the processes you do not recognise or are suspicious of to 'Monitor' but to do that you first have to have them recognised by WSA. If you are referring to those processes list under WSA then WSA should be doing the job for you and I would personally leave well alone/refer to the Support Team for guidnace as setting to 'Monitor' can have implications for disk space depending on the amount of free disk space that you have available.
 
Hope that helps?
