 Andy | During the installation of Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 Service Pack 1, ZoneAlarm firewall alerted me that dllhost.exe was trying to connect to the internet and it is a known malicious program. AVG6 scan found nothing. |
 Edward Shaw | Its a known malicious file. It calls upon other variants it can automatically download from the internet, to rummage more intently through your files for passwords, credit card numbers, and who knows what else. It can automatically call upon variants from the internet if they are needed. After doing this it emails all of the source that its gathered to various random emails ALL located in Kuwait and Russia. This is all we know about it at the moment we will try to get back to you with more. Siehe auch: Link |
| Allistair Lomax MCSD | This file produces a surrogate process in which to host COM+ applications, and is provided by Component Services in Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003 Server. COM+ allow for the development and use of distributed applications Siehe auch: Link |
 TheBeast | All applications on computer freeze up, CPU maxed out, couldn't do anything, even Ctrl-Alt-Del took minutes to respond! Did an internal search and found the file in the directory it's apparently supposed to be stored in, also found another associated file under c:\windows\Prefetch called "DLLHOST.EXE-2B8A63A0.pf. Scanned both files with Kaspersky Antivirus Personal Pro |
| Michael | dllhost.exe provides the necessary hooks to allow existing COM DLLs to behave as a local (or remote) server by wrapping them into a surrogate process. The dllhost.exe utility will load COM-based DLLs and expose their functionality from a distinct process, leaving the COM servers code base unaltered (no need to change and recompile the source code). I used it for some software projects. |
| Theobald Kafé | two instances indeed came with "Internet Information Services (IIS)" (win2k here) along with 2 other processes. if you don't want to run a site from your computer (for an intranet for example) uninstall that through the windows-components screen (a tab in software settings) |
| DataFighter | Die dllhost.exe (dynamic link libary) gehört zu Windows -oder zu dessen Server. Die dllhost.exe ist eine Standapplikation für Webserver. |
| Raina Samnani | dllhost.exe a runtime component service, most of the time this process is left in use even if its called application has terminated, users of IIS do not get surprise to see this mostly on use of ASP pages, this process can be manually ended if you are sure it was initiated by of your applications Siehe auch: Link |
| Matthew | This program is required access the internet, in order to have a sucessful installation of Microsoft .NET Framework (my ocurrance happened during the installation of version 1.1). Only allow access if downloading from http://www.Microsoft.com or Windows Update. Windows XP SP 1 or SP 2 is required. Siehe auch: Link |
| Tirupasuri Nagaraja | This is dynamic link libary and multiple instances runs especially on web servers or servers using IIS effecting the CPU utilisation. Need to kill the instances to bring back the server to normal which doesn't effects the server in any means. |
| | Dot Net Framework! War da als ich die 1.1er Version installiert hab! |
| Craig Gilchrist | It does exactly what it says on tin!! It's a host process for COM dlls. The is the host process which runs ANY requested DLLs which are registered on your machine. So Yes, this can be used to run a virus (If you unfortunately have one installed and registered and who's functionality is compiled into a DLL), It is also used to run nice friendly DLLs which are shipped with Windows, especially when IIS is installed. In short, it's meant to be used for the powers of good but can become corrupt like an evil pixie and run nasty code. |
| Kellen | This is a very annoying file. It creates adware and neededware popups, but doesn't show them to you. I am pretty sure its trying to install software to the computer. If you delete it manually, another program will keep trying to restore, therefore giving you the unseen popups anyways. It gets very annoying when you are typing and it trys to open an IE program, so it de-selects the program you are using. |
| jeff | As far as I can tell all this is doing to me is a weird prank thing...after i clear my recycle bin it becomes full again, when you try to empty again it says "are you sure you want to delete 'window's?"...chacked and dllhost is the only odd process running, cant seem to get rid of if though |

| DJ | dllhost.exe is a REQUIRED component of Microsoft Windows, and should not be terminated or deleted. It manages DLL level programs (98% of 32-bit programs). If you terminate dllhost.exe, you will need to hard boot your machine. If you delete it, you will need to reinstall your operating system. Anyone reporting this one as a virus either has no clue what they are talking about or is posting malicious information intentionally. |
| Fixer | People, there is the legit version of this file that is the COM process, and there is a spyware file that uses the same name, located in c:/windows/shelltray. Delete the latter, and delete the corresponding startup registry entry |
| m0rpheus88 | Dot Net Framework |
| v!rus | if the file implements or uses functions like CoRegisterSurrogateEx (open the file in some text viewer, like Notepad or WinCmd Lister), then it's COM surrogate thah comes with SP2, IIS and .NET stuff, else it's welchia. Peeking at file contents is good practice anyway, it reveals stuff like what dlls is the app linked to, which functions does it use or provide, etc. |
 d.s. | Kommt wohl von "Visual Basic 6" (aber nicht reproduzierbar) |
| Rafiuddin.K | dllhost.exe - DCOM DLL host process supports DLL-based COM objects and is used by many Windows programs. .NET Runtime and IIS are probably the two most common applications that use this process.The original file from Microsoft gets placed in the C:\WINDOWS\System32\dllhost.exe directory. if you find it anywhere else then you should be suspicious for sure. |
| Kazroth | As already said it`s a host process for COM dlls. Takes CPU time though but isn`t dangerous as long as not located in "Windows\System32\wins". Killing the process may result in very strange behavior of web servers. |
| Robert Natiello | host process which runs any requested DLLs which are registered on your machine.It is not harmful to terminate the process as stated previously as I do it every week with no repercussions - it aliviates poor mem utilization. |
| Rick | It is the host process for DCOM Applications. The applications in side of DCOM are probably what are causing the problem. We have developed a system that usses over 220 components contained in a DCOM Application. Anytime one of those are utilized it will run inside teh DLLHost process. That being said anyone can develop software to run in DCOM including worms etc. It is no more at fault that the OS itself for any malicious applications that are loaded in to it. |
| anonymous | computer stated acting slow (xp), force quit and 80mb for page memory was freed up and computer returned to norm. task manager did not report hllhost.exe true performance saying it was zero, when it was really almost 100%. Good ole microsoft, pc hasn't been online in months, and years before that. |
| the beast 2 | dllhost.EXE the killer it freezes you the cpu even C'A'D didnt work it was a killer the file an comes in more than 1 way so look for a file closes the the same file as in the frist beast there is a run dllhost file 2 it dose nothing if the frist file is gone |
| k4ngucup | dllhost.exe is a requiered component on COM base application, it will be horirble when the clients connection is poor, i preffered to kill the dllhost.exe process to solves the problem (using my own autokill Process), and it is works, the server does no need to restart but the clients need to reLogin. it is better than waitting for a long restart server. |
| pirli | die datei befand sich bei mir im autostart und nicht im windows verzeichnis - legte mein outlook lahm - im inet ging so gut wie gar nichts - nachdem ich die datei umbenannt hatte - lief mein system wieder einwandfrei |
| Kevin | Der läd dauernd nur Daten zu einem anderen Computer und den Prozess kann ich nicht beenden und nicht löschen! |
| BestMinute | Hat sich ins Autostart verknüpft und nervz bei jedem neustart ansonsten relativ harmlos! |
| Flav. | A Windows System File |
| Suriya | Com+ Service Instance |
| Mario | Ist im Taskmanager aufgeführt u verbraucht nach u nach immer mehr systemresourcen bis das Os fast vollständig lamgelegt ist |
