We don’t know what it does. But the machine dreams now. Sometimes we see a 64th process in Task Manager for a split second. No name. No PID. No memory footprint. Just a blink of existence.

When run, nothing visible happens. No console window. No GUI. No registry changes flagged by the monitor. Ghost64.exe

We isolated the machine. Air‑gapped. The file still updates its timestamp every 64 minutes. Thermal camera shows a 0.4°C hotspot over the southbridge — where there is no active process. We don’t know what it does
