I have a Win 2000 server running a database application
and every few days the DLLHOST.exe process will start
consuming all the processing power of the server causing
the application to be unresponsive. We stop the process
and the application will be back to normal for a few days
again. The data base used SQL. What is causing this?

It sounds as if sessions are be abandoned either thru
errors or users doing improper exits, worse case is a
memory leak in your app.
 
How do I go about toubleshooting this?

What directory is the DLLHOST.exe file located in? The Nachi worm will place
an errant DLLHOST.exe file in the /winnt/system32/wins directory.

Hi Bill!

That file is OK. But it should never appear in C:/winnt/system32/wins.

I'm having the same problem... seems at least a handfull of people ar
since the latest MS patch.

I've done multiple scans for viruses from different vendors, and non
have found anything.

The DLLHOSTS.exe gradually eats up memory, and CPU Usage is near 100%.
