DLLHOST.EXE

[nicoli]

So I just installed XP and my system performance all of a
sudden is terrible... I can't even play music because it
goes all scratchy or speeds up and slows down.

I've updated drivers and everything to what seems to be
correct, they're XP signed.

When I check out my CPU usage, it's constantly running at
100%. The problem seems to be my DLLHOST.EXE app, which
uses whatever whichever percentage is available all the
time. This can't be normal can it? Think this is the
problem?

It's about time to think seriously about installing a good antivirus
program on your computer!
