i opened up windows task manager/ processes and encountered dllhost.exe . i have not seen this crap before and am not sure if it is good or bad. Any suggestions.?
 
I believe it is a windows process that manages dcom

where is the exe located?

edit : found this using google


Process name: DCOM DLL host process

Product: Windows

Company: Microsoft

File: dllhost.exe

Security Rating:

The COM+ hosting process controls processes in the Internet Information Services (IIS) and is used by many programs. It loads .NET Runtime for example. There can be multiple instances of DLLhost.exe.

Note: The dllhost.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. In other cases, dllhost.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm!

so basically if it is anywhere but system32 folder I suggest you start running virus scans
 
ok, thnx... im recovering from this thing called genericPUP.exe. messed the computer up by taking to much RAM.
