    Com Surrogate using location


    Hi all,I've just noticed in settings that com surrogate used my location. I looked up what it was and found out it could often be malware. I found 3 instances of it running in taskmanager but each was located in system32. Could this be a virus and if not why did it access my locations? thanks

    :)

    The action cant be completed because the file is open in COM surrogate

    You have opened or used other programs while tryied to make this change in the properties. To fix this problem, I suggest you close COM Surrogate by using Task Manager

    1. press Ctrl+Shift+Esc keys simultaneously.
    2. Locate the COM Surrogate process then right click it.
    3. Locate End Task.
    Note: If you can’t locate COM Surrogate process, switch to Details tab and find dllhost.exe. Then End Task.it

    I have neither COM Surrogate in TASK MGR nor DLL files...


    I have the same thing,COM surrogate and dll not listed,weird that some people have it and others don't. I turned off 'Always show icons never thumbnails' as someone said this may help but it didn't.
