I have an hp laptop with windows 7 home.  Norton virus protection is on the computer.  It has been running really slow.  I looked at the task manager and it is running high between 67% and 100%.  It looks like it may have been hit with the COM Surrogate but I am not sure.  I do see a few of the dllhost.exe*32 file running in task manager.  They are all located in the sysWOW64 folder and there is about 3 or 4 of them that run at different times.

 

I have been trying to fix this myself with no luck.  I'm desperate for help! Here is a list of what I have done so far.

 

I ran Nortons and it doesn't find anything.

I ran sophos free virus removal tool - it finds Troj/MeeacMem-A in the memory It says it cleans it but every time I re-run it ; it finds it again.

I ran sophos boot virus removal and it didn't find anything either.

I have tried to do a system restore problem is still there.

 

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

 

thanks
