See I'd like to be more helpful but I've never used a macintosh or apple device before and am completely unfamiliar with the operating systems and their nuances.

Where did it say he had an Apple product?  His OP even says "his pc".

Indeed, this is Windows.

I don't see anything that really stands out, PSY. Of course I can't tell the OS processes from anything else, but everything here looks legitimate.

I'll ask again though, is there anything that needs to be done in the wake of combofix? From the sound of it, combofix being a last resort and all, it sounds like maybe some sort of... repairs? Might be needed? I mean everything *seems* fine and all, just with how combofix is described...?

It looks like you're fine. If everything still runs and dllhost.exe isn't running all the time, you're fine.

Ah, in the thread listing it cuts off the topic title making it end with "mac". So the thread title looks like "dllhost.exe overrunning mac" which, admittedly, doesn't make much sense since mac machines don't use the exe file extension xD

I've never had anything bad happen from running combofix.  I consider it a last resort because it almost always gets rid of the virus in question.
