Dllhost.exe Spawned by Unusual Parent Process
This rule detects instances where 'dllhost.exe' is spawned by a parent process other than 'services.exe' or 'svchost.exe'. Dllhost.exe is typically used to host COM+ applications and should almost exclusively be initiated by these legitimate system processes. An unusual parent could indicate COM object hijacking, lateral movement, or process injection attempts.
