    Hi, I got a virus that has been taken advantage of my DLLHost.exe. I have found it in my documents folder. It cannot be deleted,
    renamed or moved. My anti-virus doesn't detect it. When I right click it only two in significant items show in my context menu. I can
    open it with anything. I cant even patch it to destroy it. When I try to end the DLLhost.exe process it just comes back. I use avg
    and adaware for anti virus.

    how do i get rid of it?

    Hi BriFergie.

    Use Unlocker to free it up and delete it..

    Then do a Full Scan with Malwarebytes’ AntiMalware and FIX Everything……

    Download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware to your desktop.

    Double-click mbam-setup.exe and follow the prompts to install the program.
    • At the end, be sure a checkmark is placed next to Update Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and Launch Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware, then click Finish.
    • If an update is found, it will download and install the latest version.
    • Once the program has loaded, select Perform full scan, then click Scan.
    • When the scan is complete, click OK, then Show Results to view the results.
    Make sure that everything is checked, and click Remove Selected. <-- Don't forget this.
    • When completed, a log will open in Notepad. Please save it to a convenient location. The log can also be found here: C:\Documents and Settings\Username\Application Data\Malwarebytes\Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware\Logs\log-date.txt

    • Please post the MBAM Log and a fresh HJT log in your next reply and I’ll check it for you.
