Hi,
Here's the story
I have formatted my HD 3 days ago. Now, my computer
response is REALLY slow. I checked the Window Task
Manager and found that DLLHOST.EXE is using up the
remaining CPU cycles. The CPU usage is 100%.
I had to terminate the DLLHOST.EXE process. How do I
prevent this from happening? I have formatted and
reinstall WindowXP a few times and had no such problem.
Pls help!

The msBlaster virus is a possibility. Check out

Your computer is probably infected with the W32Welchia
worm. Go here to get a removal tool and instructions for
its use:
