HI All
Tough I removed it, I do not know what it is.
Have anyone ever seen a virus/spyware with such things:
Dllhost32.exe
Most exe files have a daemon under hidden subfolder
"\data\resources\", and the size of the daemon is 16KB. The
shortcuts to the exe are changed to pointing to the daemon.
Thus, when I launched a program through short cuts, the daemon will be
launched, and then the daemon launch the original exe.
I am running XP Pro.
As I checked newsgroups about Dllhost32.exe, most posts pointed out
dllhost32 is spyware, but did not explain why there are daemon exe
files and hidden folder. So I am not so sure what my computer got
infected.
I eventually delete all these 16KB daemon files, and leave those hidden
folder alone, by searching files and deleted. And I wrote a small
program to convert all shortcuts under "Documents and Settings" to
make them point to the original one, by removing string
"\data\resources"
No problem ever since. I suppose I am not the only one getting these.
Just strange enough no one mentioned in news groups. I did search
"dllhost32 data resources hidden".
Can anyone identify what was happing?
Cheers
