requinix Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 phpMyAdmin is for MySQL so I don't know what you're doing. If a malicious program wanted a database then it would not use PostgreSQL for it. That means you have it installed for some other reason; multiple "instances" could be simply multiple processes, which is a very normal thing to see.

alexandre Posted December 22, 2022 Author Share Posted December 22, 2022 in fact i dont know what i was doing , so i guess it is normal to have it installed since i have tried a lot of things. i was just wondering why it would be running when i was not using it. probably running on the start of my laptop.

requinix Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 I suppose it's quite possible you installed it (or some other software) at some point thinking you would need it, however now it turns out you are not. There are bundles like XAMPP that include PostgreSQL instead of MySQL. Maybe that's where yours is coming from.

requinix Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 My first suggestion would be the same place where you discovered there were multiple processes...
