[QUOTE="viper8315, post: 292671, member: 29487"] I noticed a very interesting behavior this morning. So I booted the machine and immediately logged into my account, and as usual, no signs of the com surrogate on the task manager process list. I opened up windows explorer to navigate to my wife's account\desktop to grab the fixlog file, and the dllhost com surrogate popped up. I quickly performed a copy on the log file and closed the windows explorer window, and the process went away. I then repeated the process one more time just to see if it was repeatable, and sure enough, the same thing happened. It seems as though the infection resides in her account somewhere. I'm not sure if any of this helps you or not, but it was something that I observed, and figured I should tell you. I'll be rebooting shortly under her account and running an FRST scan... [/QUOTE]
