dllhost.exe *32 (wtf is going on)

[Ice Water]

taskmanager is filled with these "dllhost.exe *32" things
some of them are as much as 200,000 k. idk what that means but i know higher numbers are bad. cpu usage is at 100 percent and everything is so slowwwwwww
internet is not working either
oh yea and i right clicked and clicked "end process" for all of them, cpu usage went down to 5 percent and i was like
thank god thats over
but now they are back
they all just reappeared

please help i have no idea what is going on lol

on the far right of each one it says COM Surrogate, not sure if thats helpful but yeah

putting this on steam becuase ie is giving me hell right now

and i keep getting alerts from norton :|

Thats a virus. Norton is spazzing out cause its overwhelmed trying to stop all of them. Try and run a full norton scan. But DO NOT delete dllhost.exe it is essential to windows, it is likely that some other program is exploiting it.

i ran the norton scan
was going well, got to 3,000 items scanned
but then windows did some kind of emergency shutdown
i turned it back on and first thing i did was open task manager
all of the dllhosts are gone
cpu usage is back down
so i guess thats it

oh and thank you ericrct

you might want to download some anti mallware, and ccleaner.. to be sure. an emergency shutdown during a virus scan? don't trust that man

[Hopper]

Yep no problem. You might want to do the scan one more time just to make sure it wont come back at a later date.
