Complaints about Dllhost.exe:
About a week ago my wife's 3 year old Acer Aspire started performing very slowly and running very hot. Tasks took a long time and multi-tasking caused a freeze. It would intermittently shut itself down or fade to a blank screen.This morning I ran Task Manager and noticed that dllhost.exe is consuming 90-95% of memory and a considerable proportion of CPU power, even when the laptop is idle. Clearly that is making the fan race and is generating heat which is causing the shutdowns.
