Hello
Download, Update & Run ad-aware

Download & Run a free virus scanner to double check your current one.

Post back it this does not solve the problem.

Be sure to visit MS Windows Update site and download the updates this is for
your security and safety.

www.windowsupdate.com





The thing most people do not know is that after they buy a computer with
virus protection installed they have to go in and register and download the
updates and continue to update it or set it to auto update then after a
period of time the subscription will run out usually in 90-180 days at that
time they will have to purchase new protection either online or from a
retail store and at that time they will be able to update for a period of
365 days (1 year).

In addition:

What's the suspicious Rundll32.exe process?:

Download all of these utilities and scan the system.

Note: Spyware removers are rules-based and are updated very frequently as and when new malware is discovered. Therefore, update both of these tools before scanning, very important.
