Is httpproxy.exe safe or a potential security risk? or What exactly is httpproxy.exe and should I be

httpproxy.exe can be legit if you use proxy/VPN software, but it’s also a common malware disguise.

Quick way to check: right-click it in Task Manager > Open file location. If it’s in a weird folder like AppData/Local/Temp, red flag.

VirusTotal (virustotal.com) can scan the file if you upload it. Super handy!
