After doing a H.D. search onh my PC and having 4 instances of the dllhost.exe found in my Windows folder this is what I found via Answers that work link > Do not "End Task" it as there is no way to determine whether DLLHOST has completed its task or not. For the more advanced users, however, deleting the registry key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ Microsoft\Java VM\MSDebug" can often solve the problem of DLLHOST constantly appearing in the Task List. Finally, if you keep getting DLLHOST errors on a Windows 2000/XP/2003 PC, then you may have the Welchia virus. <<<< This is a microsoft dll and should not be deleted from your WinXP installation ,Iam willing to bet removing this dll would cause much more problems than it could possibly fix ! Good Luck ,Nick

Thanks a lot for yours prompt help.

dllhost.exe is vital Windows system file and shouldn't be deleted. Although some malware camouflage themselves as dllhost.exe or could use it. What you need is to check where it is located. It should be in C:\Windows\System32. dllhost.exe
