So, I have a process named "http://www.acu-free.com, ..." in activity monitor. That scares me. What the heck is going on here? I uploaded a screenshot with as much info as possible. google-fu did nothing.

Update: Now i says techradar.com Two websites I don't remember visiting at all.

Don't worry about it. Sounds like you have Spotlight suggestions turned on (bottom of the screen). So probably searched something in Spotlight that came up with a search hit on that site and it preloaded it in the Spotlight process.

For example I just turned it on and searched for "test" and a Spotlight process for the the site http://www.speedtest.net/ showed up in my Activity Monitor. I don't have that site in my bookmarks and have not visiting that sites in ages.

It just preloads suggestions based on your Spotlight search.
