Each time I shut down
1. End Task box pops up " rundll.exe ".
2. I allow it to end task automatically.
3. It then reports "not responding" and asks me to choose to shut down
anyway.

What causes this and how do I go about clearing it ? I have defragged,
cleaned disk, Nod32 scanned, windows defender scanned but it still appears
each time I shut down.

When installed with administrative privileges, any malware may easily
bypass any anti-virus. Not a Windows issue anyway.
