Hey guys,
I'm at a loss with this one. I'm working on my bosses home PC. Its a fairly new system running Win7 Pro. He noticed this about a week ago with Avast blocking tons of URLs. I've tried everything I can think of, with no avail.
Currently, random processes will suddenly begin using tons of resources, many times over 1gb each. dllhost.exe *32 is a common one with the description of COM Surrogate. Although, I have seen MS Directly Helper, as well as others do the same.
I have uploaded the FRST log as well as the addition.txt.
Also, whatever is on this has managed to change the IE security settings to not allow any downloads. I'm working around that by downloading whatever I need with my surface and sharing it on the PC.
Thanks in advance,
Mike
