Hello,

today i have noticed the following:

on an installation of Mac OS Mojave 10.14.6
i do disable WiFi and Bluetooth as customary since i dont use it 99% ot time,


now discovered that there is still programs running in background, although it it not requested_=?

the "Activity Montior" shows programs running hooking memory

"WiFiProxy"
"Wi-Fi"

and even forcing to quit them is not possible (maybe outside of activity monitor it is-)


can someone please explain me what is going on and should i be concerned about those threads running that are unrequested)=)=?


thanks. Screenshot 2025-01-09 at 21.43.30 1.png
