I don’t have the necessary tools available right now to fetch fresh specifics. If you’d like, I can still provide a general overview and practical steps you can follow to assess a “Secure System” entry in Task Manager and keep your system safe. Direct answer

• There is no standard Windows process officially named “Secure System” in the core OS. If you see a process with that name, it’s commonly a mislabel, a third-party security tool, or more often malware masquerading as a system process. Treat it as suspicious unless you can verify its legitimate origin and path.

Key considerations

• Check the process location: legitimate Windows processes reside in C:\Windows\System32 or C:\Windows. If “Secure System” is running from an unusual directory (e.g., C:\Users\YourName\AppData...), that’s a red flag.
• Examine digital signatures: right-click the process in Task Manager, view Properties, and check the Digital Signatures tab. Unsigned or questionable signatures merit caution.
• Review associated services and autostart entries: use a trusted security tool to scan for malware, and inspect startup items via Task Manager’s Startup tab or Autoruns (from Sysinternals) for any entries tied to the suspicious process.
• Observe behavior: high CPU, disk activity, or network traffic linked to an unfamiliar process can indicate malicious activity.

Recommended actions

• If you’re unsure, isolate the machine from the network temporarily to prevent potential data exfiltration.
• Run a full system scan with reputable antivirus/antimalware software, and consider using a second opinion tool (e.g., Malwarebytes, Windows Defender Offline scan) for a deeper check.
• Update all software and Windows security updates, as attackers often exploit unpatched vulnerabilities.
• If you confirm it’s malware, follow remediation steps from your security tool and, if needed, seek professional assistance.

How I can help next

• If you can share details such as the exact process name as shown, its file path, and any security tool you’re using, I can help interpret those signs and outline a targeted remediation plan.
• If you’d like, I can generate a concise checklist tailored to your Windows version (e.g., Windows 10, 11) to systematically verify whether a process is legitimate.
