httpproxy.exe could be anything, tbh. Mine was from a game launcher (??).
Try stopping the process in Task Manager and see if anything breaks. If not, nuke it. If you’re still paranoid, backup and reinstall Windows. Overkill, but peace of mind.

Hey everyone,
Wow, didn’t expect so many replies—thanks! Tried VirusTotal like someone suggested, and httpproxy.exe came back clean, but it’s in a weird temp folder.
Gonna run Malwarebytes tonight just in case.
Quick Q: If it *is* malware, could it be stealing passwords? Or is that overthinking it? lol
