Yes, it is a real needed file for IIS. However, it normally resides in the %systemroot%\system32 folder. This one is located in the \wins folder, which wins has nothing to do with web services. It is a virus made to look like a real file.

I read what dllhost.exe does, something to do with COM+. Will it matter if it is deleted? Regards, Nathan Simpson Australian Wool Handlers Forest Rd Lara VIC 3212 Ph.
