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.  Finally, if you keep getting DLLHOST errors on a
Windows 2000/XP/2003 PC, then you may have the Welchia virus.

        DLLHOST.EXE is used by many Windows program that support DLL
based COM objects.

        Process File: dllhost or dllhost.exe
        Process Name: DCOM DLL Host Process.

        hi guys,

         

        check at my task manager, and found DLLHOST.EXE entry at
"processes",   Is this infected by welchia or sobig.f ?  i try to
terminate it using some removal tools (doing in safe mode) but after
restart and already running in normal mode, it will exist again.  fyi,
i'm using windows 2000 advance server +sp3, and exchange 2000 + sp3.  i
have apply the rpc dcom vulnerability patch.  and sometimes at the queue
viewer, i can see email to domain that not listed at my company with
size 1.002 KB.    what's this ?

         

        rgds,

        hery
