rundll32.exe-finish program

J

Jonsson

Hi,

Everytime I close my computer I get the message "rundll32.exe-finish
program".
First I thought it was a virus, but I have checked with my own
NAV2002(updated), and also checked with TrendMicro and according to them I
don't have any viruses.

Hope someone can help me with this one.

Thanks in advance

Jonsson,

Tasklist is available only in XP Pro. Get a copy of Process Explorer.

Hi, guys!

Here is what happens:

I have installed ProcessExplorer and there I can see that I have two
rundll32's running. The information says that it is a program running and
it's from Microsoft Corp.
I also tried to download "tasklist.exe" and put it in the "system32"folder.
Then Itried to close windows, but I still havethe box that says
"rundll32.exe Finish program?" If I choose to finish windows closing, but if
I choose to close the messagebox, windows continue running as if nothing has
happened.

More suggestions, please!

Thomas,

Most rundll32.exe problems seem to be caused by spyware.

Download, install, run, update and run again; one or all. They are all
good, FREE utilities. Make sure you update every program, even if you
just downloaded it. You must have the latest updates. Without updates,
you have a gun without ammo. You also need to use more than one
anti scumware program. One program will *not* catch everything.

I have installed ProcessExplorer and there I can see that I have two rundll32's running. The information says that it is a program running and it's from Microsoft Corp.

In Process Explorer, double-click Rundll32 process and look at the Command-line in the Image tab. You'll see something like this:
--
"C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe" /d C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL timedate.cpl
--

The above is an example. The DLL file in question might be causing the actual problem.
