Hello and Welcome to the Webroot Community!
May I ask what version of Windows are you using? And I would not worry about those 2 processes!
Definition:
icacls
icacls is a command-line utility that can be used to modify NTFS file system permissions in Windows Server 2003 SP2, Windows Server 2008, Windows Vista and Windows 7. It builds on the functionality of similar previous utilities, including cacls, Xcacls.exe, Cacls.exe, and Xcacls.vbs.
See here about conhost.exe:
But if you want a security check please Submit a Support Ticket and they will let you know and I'm sure your fine!
Thanks,
Daniel ;)
