    Com Surrogate Virus


    Recently, I cant save files or delete them because of "com surrogate". I think I got it when I downloaded Utorrent. I searched up how to delete it and everyone says dllhost.exe in the task manager bar :/. Sadly for me, whenever I click on dllhost.exe it immediately disappears before I can press end task. I was wondering if there was any other way to get rid of it as all virus scanners (including mcafree) haven't scanned anything wrong with my computer.


    I have a Windows 10 fully updates pc.


    Update:

    Okay, I manged to click it once and end the task... TWO more popped up dllhost.exe popped up.

    :)

    I have neither COM Surrogate in TASK MGR nor DLL files...


    I have the same thing,COM surrogate and dll not listed,weird that some people have it and others don't. I turned off 'Always show icons never thumbnails' as someone said this may help but it didn't.
