rundll32.exe occupying 99% CPU all time

[Alan Ku]

Hi,

I am using HP laptop model number compaq nx9010, I have
got some problems lately. The fan and CPU are running
continuously and CPU performance shown 100% at all
times. I found the rundll32.exe is occupying 99% of the
CPU usage all time, and it may explain why the CPU and
fan were running non-stop. And this problem last for
about 3 days.

Can you please help me and let me kow what caused the
roblem and how do i fix it.

Your assistance is appreciated.

Regards,

Alan Ku

What does a scan with a current antivirus program (meaning a version not
earlier than 2002 and using updated virus definitions) show? Also,
remove spyware with Spybot Search & Destroy from
www.safer-networking.org and Ad-aware from www.lavasoftusa.com. Be sure
to update these programs before running them. These programs are free,
so run them both since they complement each other. It is best to run
antivirus and spyware removal tools in Safe Mode. You may also want to
run CWShredder and HijackThis from http://aumha.org/freeware.htm.
Although CWShredder is no longer being updated, it will still clean
older variants of the CoolWebSearch malware. Please read the
instructions carefully. Also, make sure you've visited Windows Update
and applied all security patches. Do not install driver updates from
Windows Update. Make sure you are running a firewall.
