I have a new dsl line which was very slow. Verizon told
me to end task for DLLHost.exe. This solved the problem
but DLL>Host.exe keeps reappearing and slowing the pc
down. Verizon said DLL>Host.exe can be removed
permanently but the were not allowed to tell me how. Can
anyone help?

Porker;
Please include some of the post you are replying to, so we know what the hell you're
talking about.
 
DLLHOST.EXE is _NOT_ a virus! It is a legitimate Windows System File. It
_CAN_, however, be replaced by an infected file should someone acquire
certain viruses or trojans.

To just come out and say this it is a virus is just plain wrong, and
completely untrue. The only way to know for sure would be to perform a
virus scan with updated definitions...

I agree. But on the point of DLLHost.exe - I have checked Task Manager and found 2 instances of this running - Is this normal

DLLHost.exe only became visible in task manager once I started the Com+ Event System and the SENS services. I disspaears once these services are stooped

Advice & Guidance please.......

Thanks

Here's some info..

dllhost is the host process for all COM+ applications.
--------------------------------------------------------------------
DCOM support module for DLL based COM objects (DCOM = Distributed Component
Object Model). DCOM is a software architecture model which is an intrinsic
part of Windows, of most Microsoft products, and of many non-Microsoft
products. In most cases you should never see DLLHOST in your Task List, as,
typically, DLLHOST starts, does what it has to do, and then terminates.
However, sometimes, if a Java COM object runs (this could happen if you are
browsing the Internet and come to a page which has Java code), DLLHOST may
not terminate, which is when you would see it in your Task
List.Recommendation : Do not ""End Task"" it as there is no way to determine
whether DLLHOST has completed its task or not. For the more advanced users,
however, deleting the registry key ""HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\
Microsoft\Java VM\MSDebug"" can often solve the problem of DLLHOST
constantly appearing in the Task List.
