I have been experiencing what seems like an attack using dllhost.exe. My machine slows to a crawl and when I open Task Manager, Resource Monitor, I find multiple instances of dllhost.exe running as COM Surrogate. There are over 20 of these running and they effectively kill the CPU thru over work. I have tried to kill each one of these individually, but I can't work fast enough as they recreate new instances of themselves as quickly as I delete.
I've tried running a full system scan and have had several attacks removed or quarantined, but it doesn't seem to cure the problem.
This seem like it must be a virus or outside attack, but I can't seem to find it.
Can anyone help?
Thanks-
