[QUOTE="Ray Winninger, post: 282588, member: 29461"] Looks like others are seeing similar issues. I'm generally experiencing slightly sluggish performance and odd background resets of various IE security settings. In Task Manager, I notice multiple instances of the "dllhost.exe COM Surrogate" process grabbing up GBs of Memory. If I kill these processes they go away for a bit and then eventually start cropping up again. Malwarebytes and MS Security Essentials both fail to find any problems. (I use Security Essentials for real-time protection and run MWB as needed). I've attached a FRST log. I'd appreciate any help. Thank you! [/QUOTE]
