Hi all,
I have few question about dllhost.exe.
What is it? Is it normal when it takes more than
100M memory shown in task manager? So how to reduce the
memory usage of dllhost.exe ?
Thanks in advance.

first up a warning. The Blaster worm an its variants masquerade as
DLLHOST.exe

take your machine offline, run a virus scanner (an up-to-date one!) and
follow the removakl instructions from www.antivirus.com if it transpires
you DO have the worm.

dllhost.exe is the process where the system application lives; you can view this via component services. As well, if you are running IIS,
and you have your site(s) set to run in either Medium or High App protection, then you will have other dllhost.exe's for these site(s). If
you don't see the process continually growing larger and larger, and then your web app failing, then the process is using available
memory.

On a side note, I have not heard of the Blaster worm being run inside of a dllhost.exe process, as of yet, anyway.

Thank you. I hope this information is helpful.
