_dummy_dns_resolver

Hi

After exiting from CoH yesterday I closed my PC down straight after, as it was closing I got an error message saying unable to close "_dummy_dns_resolver".

My first thought was I've been hacked - although why a hacker would call a program such an obvious name I don't know.
I Googled it and came up with very little - if it was a true hack I would expect a lot of info.
There were only 2 results 1 from a guy saying that he'd had a virus, he'd cleaned it but had the dummy dns resolver message occasionally and was after advice.
The other was from a CoH player saying that it happened after playing CoH and then closing his PC.
Has anyone heard of this and could a redname please verify if this is a valid CoH program/function?
I dont want to try to resolve an issue that doesn't exist.

P.S
The only thing I'v downloaded and installed recently is Herostats!
