End Program - DLL Hoster

10_66

I'm getting a grey box appearing when I turn my computer off which says "End Program - DLL Hoster". Can anyone tell me what this means, please. It's only just started to appear. I've run a virus scan and nothing's registered. I've just renewed my Internet Security Suite and it's only happened since I've done this, so don't know whether it's connected to my Internet Security (F-Secure). I'm not a techie, so you'll have to explain simply, please .

Sorry to bump this, but am hoping someone can throw some light on this. I've googled it, without much satisfaction.

It's always a good idea to let us know what operating system you're using and the make and model of the computer.

Windows XP, Mesh (don't know model).

It does look related to f-secure. I wouldn't worry.

I'm not familiar with f-secure but if the pop-up is annoying you then you can always uninstall it using their own removal tool (if available) or use Revo uninstaller. Then reinstall f-secure to see if it makes any difference. Most of the regulars on this board like Avast free anti-virus and I have got to admit that I'm a convert too and it's on all my machines.
