Hi Hery,
 
I am almost certain you have w32.blaster.d
 
check in c:\windows\system32\wins\ as suggested by chris, although you
can't be sure of which varient of blaster it is so can't be sure where
it puts it - could try searching whole c: for dllhost.exe. Also check
the usual run/runonce key in the registry
(/HKLM/software/microsoft/current version/run).
 
This variant was released only a couple (maybe 3) days ago, update your
virus defs again or try trend housecall to be sure there is no virus
there.
 
 
Jamie.

        hi Chris,
        the file is located at \winnt\system32.  and the size is 5.76
KB.  i've scan for the virus, but found nothing.  so if this dllhost.exe
is really windows program, i think it safe to run.  nothing to worried.
i also have patch the rpc dcom.
        many thank's for your help.
         
        rgds,
        hery

                The "normal" DLLHOST.EXE application usually sits in
<SYSTEM DRIVE>:\WINNT\System32 and is roughly 6k.
                 
                The "Infected" DLLHOST.EXE from Nachi et al. is in
<SYSTEM DRIVE>:\WINNT\System32\Wins\ and is about 10k.
                 
                DLLHOST.EXE is used to run COM+ components.
                 
                You may want to check the location and size of your
DLLHOST.EXE file to see if you're infected or not.
                 
                Chris.
