    COM surrogate


    I logged on this morning and CMD automatically opened. I became concerned because nothing like this usually happens, so i opened task manager after researching reasons why this may occur and discovering that it may be caused by malware.


    i saw that a couple programs labelled COM surrogate were active, and i did not recognize them so i set out to research their purpose. Half the websites i encountered claimed that they were crucial to windows' operating system, despite the other half labelling them as malware.


    I opened up file explorer and searched for anything labelled COM surrogate or dllhost (because that seemed to pop up quite alot) and i found several files called COM surrogate. I'm not sure as of yet whether they should be dealt with or if i should just leave them alone.


    I would appreciate any help I can get.

    Here's a snip of what i found. I apologize for any inaccuracy in my complaint, I'm not great with technology.

    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.
