Conhost.exe opening every time I launch

[Samandra-uther (Samandra)]

I just noticed conhost.exe is launching with a different PID (not showing in Task Manager) every time I launch WoW, using Battle.net or WoW launchers. Is this normal or malware?

conhost.exe

Conhost.exe is needed to run to allow Command Prompt to work with Windows Explorer . One of its features is that it gives you the ability to drag and drop files/folders straight into Command Prompt. If third parties need access to the command line they are also able to use conhost.exe.
