Hi,
I'm having the same problem that others on this forum have reported. Process named "dllhost.exe *32" is running multiple times in Task Manager and taking CPU usage and Physical memory up close to 100%. Problem seems to be related to IE (Explorer is now saying there is a problem with content security settings for downloads?). Performed malwarebytes quick scan yesterday and detected and removed a number of threats. Not long after running malwarebytes, Microsoft Security Essentials gave a warning about a trojan virus infection...ran scan and deleted 3 possible malicious files/threats. Have re-run malwarebytes and Security Essentials and both are coming up clean now. However, the dllhost.exe problem persists and seems to may be getting worse. I went into Windows Firewall and blocked the dllhost.exe process both inbound and outbound. Doing this has allowed me to work on the computer again and Task Manager shows CPU usage down to about 5-10%...physical memory is in the 50-70% range. I downloaded and ran FRST..attached are the log files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated....thanks!
