dllhost.exe COM Surrogate (32 bit)

It takes a very long time to open up my network settings upon bootup and when I'm doing it, this COM surrogate process will pop up in my task manager and then will quickly go away. Should I be concerned? The computer is running fine and well, I'm just having this one issue and my antivirus software has found nothing.
 


I would run a malwarebytes scan (https://www.malwarebytes.org/mwb-download/) just to make sure, especially since it picks up on a lot of unwanted programs. However the dllhost.exe is a windows process so I don't think it should be a worry. Keep us posted about whether you find anything :)
 
I was actually running one as I got your message, malwarebytes is great. It didn't find anything, I think I might just be overreacting a bit because it isn't normally a process that consumes much at all. Malwarebytes didn't find anything and neither did avast so I believe there is nothing to really be worried about right?
