Rundll32.exe is not a virus.

Video drivers maybe??

virus found......Please advise

Rundll32 is no such thing. It is an essential system component used to
run dll files in many contexts. But the file it is being asked to run
may well be malware
And of course there may be a malware file masquerading. The proper one
should be in windows\system32 - any in Windows is suspect

This is likely to arise from some additional facilities that have been
added by video cards drivers. Upgrade to latest version - and with ATI
cards, make sure you get a current 'ATI Control Panel'

I think this applies only if the trojan adds a certain value to the
registry.
