[QUOTE="starmusic, post: 296994, member: 30498"] IE history shows two hits to twitter sites, which I don't use. Syndication.twitter.com and platform.twitter.com. I don't know for sure if those occurred before or after that last action. TaskMgr shows one instance of dllhost.exe... actually a second just popped up and down as I was watching it. Nothing logged to History, and no AV runtime notice of stopping a malicious website, but I noticed yesterday after a scan and threat removal that it seemed to take up to a half hour for things to get rolling. I don't know what legitimate uses dllhost.exe might have, but I don't imagine it's a good sign that it's running new instances repeatedly as I type this. I'll be brave and leave my network connection enabled overnight; I'm running an MB scan now and will follow up in the morning. Any chance you can tell me how dangerous this Trojan might be in terms of identity theft or uploading of sensitive stuff from my computer? Or is it just a "Link clicker" to defraud website pay-per-click stuff? Thanks for all your help. [/QUOTE]
