XP operating system with several iterations of mshta.exe in the Task Manager

Last week, I saw several iterations of mshta.exe in my task manager. I don't know what it generates, or why the request is not closed properly

Hi GFar74,

MSHTA (Microsoft HTML Hypertext Markup Language > Host Application is a process that is running.) The HTA (HTML application) file, usually MSHTA charge once. HTA application must be running and then ends when the application ends.

This problem may occur if a Windows system file is missing or damaged.

Method 1: Run the SFC (System File checker) Scan. To do this, follow the steps below

With the installation of Windows XP in the drive disc

un) Click Start, click principally made programs, click Accessories, and click command prompt of

(b) type the following command and press ENTER:

sfc/scannow

The sfc/scannow command analyzes all protected system files and replaces incorrect versions with appropriate Microsoft versions.

If the problem persists, this could be an activity of the virus

Method 2: A scanner online for any threat and try to correct
