[QUOTE="Lessa, post: 286031, member: 29695"] Hi, everybody. I think I've got a serious issue with malware and viruses. It first started a few days ago, God knows why. All of a sudden it got reeeeally slow and I would constantly get Adobe Flash Player update pop ups. Also, it kept saying 'powershell has stopped working'. So thanks to MalwareBytes a ton of viruses were found and I was able to move them to quarantine. So I thought I was done with it, but no... what happens now is that everytime I open my task manager, it shows more than one dllhost.exe *32 by COM Surrogate process running. I just opened it again and there are 7 of those running (about half an hour ago, there were 5 of those), plus one dllhost.exe which cannot be opened. Curiously, when I open the folders where they are located, I'm always redirected to the same SysWOW64 folder and they all appear to be the same file. I even scanned it with my PANDA antivirus and it seems to be ok. I also have Malwarebytes installed and so far it seems to be a good antimalware program. It's detected a ton of viruses and malwares so far. I have ComboFix on my computer as well, so if I need to run it it is already here and I just downloaded adwCleaner, FRST and aswMBR.
