[QUOTE="Gunnerhowell, post: 430898, member: 40924"] Request Help. Suspect I may have the Svchost.exe / Com Surrogate Virus. Com Surrogate has normal disk usage until I start Internet Explorer. Once Internet Explorer is started then Com Surrogate takes Disk usage to 100%. Can not terminate the process while IE is running. If IE is shutdown I can kill Com Surrogate and the Disk Usage returns to normal. Thought I could fix it myself by restoring the computer to factory settings using restore drive. Computer worked fine for about 2 weeks then problem returned. I started following the threads here at malwaretips.com. Ran Malwarebytes Anti-malware. It found no viruses and only one threat. PUP.Optional.OpenCandy. The Com Surrogate still took the system to 100% disk usage after I opened IE. [/QUOTE]
