why is there multiple instances of PostgreSQL running on my machine?

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.

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.
