Processes

[Carson]

I have a process that is "automatic" that Microsoft uses
with XP called "DLLHOST" this process runs constantly and
hogs the CPU. It will use 90-100% of the CPU and cause
everything to run extremely slow. It doesn't use up much
RAM at all just CPU FOREVER. Why is this and what is it
doing and what can I do to prevent this.
