My take on my own observations thus far is I question anything that has anything to do with Alphabet Inc. AppNHost.exe is a part of Clickand Clean which is a extention for Chrome(which is supposed to enhance privacy security issues) yet Chrome is a privacy nightmare as we all know. and I also am questioning Virustotal simply because of a conflict of interest in the results it supplies due to I believe it's owner is you guessed it our privacy Saviors Google/Alphabet Inc...not a fan but a man with a plan...Thank You for Time and stay Low
