DcomLaunch using up ton of memory and TCP/IP connections
Issue with an employee's pc getting very slow and unresponsive after a while. Upon research I've found that the SVCHost process running the DCOM Launcher and TermServices is what is causing the issue. It will start out using 200,000K after reboot and as you can see with the screen print can really start to hog the memory. But what is more odd is all the TCPIP connections using all sorts of ports locally to HTTP ports. I've run AVG Scan and Malawarebytes but nothing is showing up as bad. Anyone have any ideas?? User is having to reboot every hour or so or his pc will just freeze up altogether.
