Solved CPU jumps to 100% when online, dllhost.exe

[Star]

Deleted previous fixlog. Was able to find and disable all settings in McAfee. CPU reduces to low levels. Restarted. CPU levels reduced further. Scanned with script. I attached log.

Currently no lag. Internet speeds at excellent values. Left McAfee settings disabled.

In case anyone wonders, it is located in Advance Menu/Configure (bottom of left panel)/>computer and files (top of the same "left" panel). Virus, Spyware, & Systemguard disabled.

uninstalled, upgrade, and restarted each. Ran zoek successfully. Attached zoek-results log.

Update: I am not sure if this is worth mentioning but Windows Installer Module came up with updates. CPU increased from 10% to 50-60% while downloading. Completed DL. Opened and saw 19 failed installation attempts since March 21. The monthly installations of Window Malicious Removal Tool x64 were successful. I did not click install yet. I did once a few days ago but failed.

=Details of failed attempt=

You must install only Service Pack 2 first, without other updates along with. Tell me how is comptuer right now?

wow! I think that did the trick. I updated the Windows service pack and turn on virus scan and alerts. Restarted. CPU usage fluctuates around 5-20% (idling), Physical Memory: 49% Processes 81. dllhost.exe *32" and svchost.exe both absent. I have 13 processes of Chrome but only upon opening. Internet speeds are great and no lag. Thanks, you are so talented! So glad I don't have to nap while loading anymore. hahaha

For future protection I can recommend you:
- Adblock --> https://adblockplus.org/en/chrome
- Unchecky --> http://unchecky.com/



• The following will implement some post-cleanup procedures:

=> Please download DelFix by Xplode to your Desktop.

Run the tool and check the following boxes below;

Remove disinfection tools

Create registry backup

Purge System Restore
Click Run button and wait a few seconds for the programme completes his work.
At this point all the tools we used here should be gone. Tool will create an report for you (C:\DelFix.txt)

The tool will also record healthy state of registry and make a backup using ERUNT program in %windir%\ERUNT\DelFix
Tool deletes old system restore points and create a fresh system restore point after cleaning.

Can I ask a recommendation for virus scanner. I am thinking about uninstalling McAfee. It keeps saying that I am not protected. hahaha.. I think it wants me to kick it out from my system. lol I do have AdBlockPlus on chrome.

Should I keep any of the apps that I used for this repair? If yes, how to know if there is a problem and how to address it.

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

Install Antivirus what you want. About scanner, MalwareBytes is good. You can uninstall all repair tools.

Error when deleting (1) : HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY_ASWMBR

Is this safe to leave as is? I don't mind if it's ok

 

[TwinHeadedEagle]

It is safe, just empty registry setting
