Weird process in Activity Monitor makes me worried...

Hi everyone,

I have found this weird process in activity monitor.

The parent process is launch(d). Can anyone tell me why a weird website is showing up here?

(i have no recollection of visiting said site).

Nothing weird at all. It's "Safari Web Content" process. You've got some open tab that loaded that URL content. It could be even request made from another site that just loaded some content from that one (which is shown in the process list). You may for example expand its details to find out more.

Thanks for the answer!

I don't use Safari. But earlier i opened it quickly to test a website. But it is closed now. I guess this process wont send, receive or collect anything for this website.

I can see that i have visited the website several months ago. But why this website shows up as a distinct process is beyond me when no other websites show up in the same way.
