Saturday, I noticed my computer was lagging very badly, so I checked my task manager, and saw that memory usage was almost at capacity. Checking the processes running, I saw several DLLHOST.EXE*32 running, one taking over 1GB of memory. I started a virus scan, and got a lot of popups saying memory was low and to close DLLHOST.EXE. Virus scan found nothing, so I scanned with malwarebytes, and it came up with nothing. Scanned with spybot search and destroy, found nothing. Did a clean on registry with CCleaner. Started up the computer today, and it seemed fine at first, but then it started lagging again and checked processes again. Searched for some other options, did another virus scan with Avast (a bootscan), tried AdwCleaner, did malwarebytes making sure it would scan for rootkits which it found 2 and quarantined. I restarted, but the issue still remains: several DLLHOST.EXE are running and Avast spams me with detected threats from iexplore.exe. I've attached the FRST log and the most recent malware scan (the one that detected two), and I have logs from AdwCleaner, but there's 4, not sure which one is needed or if you want all of them ([R0], [R2], [R3], and [S0]).
Help would be much appreciated! Thank you.
