dllhost is used on all versions of WIndows 2000. dllhost is the host
process for all COM+ applications.

IIS 5.0 uses COM+ for managing asp pages, and executing them, so when you
call a asp page, dllhost will be used to execute the asp page.

Just leave it there, it is very well behaved.

What is dllhost.exe that runs on Windows 2000 (Advanced Server) SP1?
It's using up 92 megs of RAM right now and that seems a bit excessive for
something that's only 5904 bytes in the first place.

dllhost.exe (made by Microsoft)
5904 bytes
12/7/99
version 5.0.2181.1
Description: COM Surrogate
