Hello Everyone
I'm glad to be apart of this community. I came here because I have a multiple dllhost.exe *32 files on my task manager. Its really slowing my computer down and was wondering if any one could help me fix it. I also had multiple Google chrome files on my task manager even though I never downloaded Google chrome. However after a day of messing around with my computer I was lucky enough to get rid of Google chrome but the file dllhost.exe *32 still remains. I was researching how to get rid of it and so far the only thing I've done is disable thumbnail preview which didn't work. I pretty much given up on trying to figure it out myself. Please help my guys I really need your help. :(

I don't think I got rid of the Google chrome virus because when I started my cpu it came back. But I downloaded Google chrome and used the Google chrome tools> task manager to get rid of it again. I just unchecked everything that was checked and then located the file on my regular task manager and deleted file. I don't think its a permanent fix though. Right now neither dllhost.exe *32 or google chrome is spamming my task manager and my cpu is running fine. I think something launches them when my computer first starts up. Quite afraid to turn off my computer now that its running good.

Yea I also figured out that when it spams my task manager I just right click on the program, open file location(need this to delete the file quickly), start logging off my cpu, and when it shows the force shutdown menu because I have programs up the virus just randomly disappears from task manager. So I quickly click cancel, go back to "open file location" and delete file (it will come back on my task manager if I don't delete quickly). So I found a temporary way to get rid of it. I tried "Google clean" like you suggested but I don't think it even notices the virus but I may not be using the program right. Still looking for a permenant solution to getting rid of this virus. I have to do this every time I turn on my computer(I could leave it on but my neighbors/friends goes around the house unplugging everything in attempt to keep the electric bill down). I haven't seen dllhost.exe *32 virus at all today.
