MSN has told me to remove this virus. I have ran the symantec w32.welchia virus removal tool twice and no worm has been found. What do I do?

I also had this virus. To remove it all you have to do is goto your system32 dirrectory, look for the directory Wins and remove it as well as the files DLLHOST.exe and SVCHOST.exe. then reboot your machine. Nice n Simple. Cya

I also had this virus. The Windows system file is dllhost.exe and is located in the C:\windows\system32 [or equivalent] directory. DO NOT DELETE THIS FILE. The virus is DLLHOST.exe (uppercase) and is located in the C:\windows\system32\wins directory. Delete the entire folder (you will probably need to restart windows in safe mode to do this).

Deleting the file, as I have just found out, does not completely remove the virus. Complete instructions can be found here: http://www.pchell.com/virus/welchia.shtml

I came across this board because I was searching for some info on "dllhost.exe" the reason is because recently my computer has been infected with a lot of weird files so I have to check the Task Manager regularly and this time I saw 2 "dllhost.exe", 1 is SYSTEM and the other is IWAM_[mycomputer'sname], it looks really suspicious cuz I've never seen this before in Task Manager... I've read some threads saying that the infected files is in /System32/Wins/ but when I go there, there's no file in that folder, the only 1 "dllhost.exe" I found after doing a search is in the system32 folder and its size is 5kb and the name is lowercase, oh and 2 other .pf files in the windows/prefetch folder... So I'm wondering if my computer is infected with this virus that's been talked about or what? Thanks a lot for your attention!!!

I have found the info in this discussion very useful to get read of the dllhost.exe virus. Thanks.
