Sometimes it just shifts the problem around.

Found something similar last year when cleaning out my aunt's old laptop. It had a script running that turned her machine into a local file server for her church group, sharing newsletters and photos. Felt weird to see an unknown program doing that, but it was actually pretty harmless and useful. I ended up leaving it alone after she said the guy who set it up had moved away years ago.

That phantom 747 story from @the_derek is wild. My car's nav system once tried to route me through a lake during a heavy rain because the traffic data glitched out.

Yeah @wyatt513, but never relaxing... that just leads to more strain.
