[QUOTE="Soleios, post: 252365, member: 27269"] Hello, around 3-4 days ago my computer started lagging like crazy. It is because COM surrogate is reproducing like rabbits. I have a lot of it running right now and it is eating up about 300k memory each. And taking up 10% of my CPU each. In total I am running at 100% right now and my computer is too laggy to do anything. It is also uploading data at a rate of 1-2mb/s. I unplug my internet to my desktop while it is on. I currently use my laptop to monitor the activities of COM surrogate. My second problem is that browser.exe is running 3 version of it self and it claims to be "google chrome" but when I track it down it shows up at PolysterHiggs which I've never heard of and a google search turned up with nothing. I do not know if this is a legit maleware but it is very suspicious because when I deleted google chrome the 3 .exe were still running. I appreciate any help/advice. Thank you in advance -Soleios [/QUOTE]
