Hello. Came on forum on October 28th with same issue. dllhost.exe running about 20 instances and eating up memory. Problem seemed fixed on October 28th through this forum, but it must have been buried deep because it is back. Noticed problems with my screen saver, Avira antivirus doing weird things and my wireless adapter flashing crazily. Checked Task Manager and sure enough, the dllhost.exe COM surrogate is replicating and bogging down my computer. I hope that's all it's doing..... Anyway, I ran the FARBAR utility and am attaching the FRST and ADDITION results to see if maybe someone can help get rid of this dang malware once and for all. In the meantime, I'm going to unhook from the internet until tomorrow to see if there's a reply from a moderator in case there's something nasty going on with this malware infection. Thanks, Todd.
