Always See Rundll32.exe Running In The Taskmanager?
Jan 8, 2005
i always see rundll32.exe running in the taskmanager.i already know the basics abotu this program: it runs when you view ie properties or add/remove prog list, etc.the rundll32.exe thing pops up outta nowhere in the taskmanager.or sometimes, a flash pop-up ad comes up on the screen blocking everything. when i press the close button, rundll32.exe is still running. i hafta "end task" mto get rid of it completely (sometimes sound is still runing as well, until i end the task)ok so now, after about an hour using my computer, rundll32.exe appears on the tm again. it usually, if not always, comes in a pair. NOW, i see more and more being added every few hours/day. there are currently four of them running right now.
I know this operation is needed for some parts of Windows to function, but it sounds like a Trojan can also use this file to slow your computer. Norton 2005 says it doesn't seem to be harming my sysetm, but my stsem has seemed to be slowing lately. Also, on my Ctrl + Alt + Delete it says rundll32.exe is running at startup. Should it be running at startup, and how do I know if I have the Trojan or not?
two days ago my computer got infected with a trojan virus. it was running very very slow so i got the Norton 360, but when i tried to uninstall another version of norton from the control panel /add remove programs utility, i got the error message : �Cannot find C:WINDOWSSystem32 undll32.exe. I was finally able to get the norton removal from the symantec website, install the norton 360, get rid of the virus and other threats. but that didn't seem to help the rundll32.exe problem, i still cannot access any of the utilities in the control panel and my computer is still running very slow.
If I press ctrl alt del I get no task manager. Also, If I right click the start bar and select task manager it still wont work. It just sits there like I did nothing! whats up???
When I turn on my computer, I get a message that says explorer.exe has closed down and when I try to start Task Manager, it closes that, too. I'm on the computer right now, but I'm using an Ubuntu Live CD.
A few months back I had set a password on my computer and my roommates were doing nasty things with my computer. Well not that the maturity levels have risen, I have no need for a password on my computer. StartControl PanelUser AccountsRemove Password. That's done, but when I reboot, I still get the XP Pro login box. No password is required, but I still have to press enter to move on. I'd like to get rid of this.Also, when I press control+alt+delete I am brought again to the goofy XP Pro menu where I can choose to bring up the task manager, lock my computer, change password, shutdown, etc. I'd like for this too, to be gone. I would like the taskmanager to show up.
My Taskmanager, msconfig and regedit will not remain open. I realize this is due to a virus or spyware, but i still haven't been able to fix this problem. I had to recently restore my entire computer so i've held back on reinstalling many things. I am also unable to install any windows updates due to an error (without them, im pretty sure im more prone to getting more spyware and viruses).
i recently had a couple of trojans on my computer. they started to make my computer crash alot and they changed my background to a huge warning sign..it had said warning your computer is infested with many trojans malware and adware. i ran alot of scans and now i am very sure that its all cleaned up. But when i try to access my taskmanager i cannot. i have read another thread wich told me to type in taskmngr.exe or something like that the run thing but it just said task manager has been disabled by admin. how to reenable it and i am the admin. also when i try to change my background via right click>properties>desktop where i should be able to scroll through the backgrounds is all locked up and disabled.
i ran some pretty complicated malware-removal programs since my PC (on the office network) was showing loads of trojans and other malware. in the order of running, i ran Malwarebytes, MGTools, Combofix with the windows recovery option. Then, on not having found anything substantial, I uninstalled Combofix with the /u optiom and deleted C:Combofix and later, proceeded to delete C:MGTools.The PC allows me to do a Ctrl+Alt+Del log in, and once I hit Return after entering the password, it just shows me the blue background to the desktop - No items, no menus.Same thing happens in safe mode.
When I shut the system down and box pops up and says rundll32.exe has encountered an error and it ask's me to 'end now' or 'exit'. If I 'exit' nothing will happen and the system will not shut down so I have to select 'end now'.
I have a question about one of my startup items which is the rundll32.exe bthprops. I did a search but am still not sure whether I can uncheck this or not.
I'm running Windows XP Home edition SP2, and my System Restore does not work. When I try to start System Restore from the Help and Support section, I get the "System Restore Application has encountered an error" message and when I check the technical details, I get this error signature: AppName: rstrui.exe AppVer: 5.1.2600.2180 ModName: srrstr.dll ModVer: 5.1.2600.2180 Offset: 00009826
I have this error on my computer C:windowssystem32undll32.exe I was advised to download a new rundll32 to repair mine but I can't find any where on Microsoft web site. I have or had a virus. I was running F secure online scan when these problems all started. I have an error KB8964225.log on my screen every time I restart.I cannot access many programs obviously as the rundll is the base for a lot of things. I cannot get into system restore.
i think my rundll32.exe file got deleted and i tried downlaoding it again but that didn't work. I looked in system32 and it shows its there but the icon is a piece of paper, not a .exe icon, and it is preventing me from running programs, uninstalling programs and downloading anything. What do I do?
the problem: in control panel when i double click anything to open it will give me this error message ''Windows cannot find C:WINDOWSsystem32undll32.exe'' Make sure you typed the name correctly, and then try again. To search for a file, click the Start button & then click search'' i search for rundll32.exe, it finds 3 files in folders: C:Windows$NTServicePackUninstall$, C:WindowsServicePackFilesi386
When right clicking my windows XP desktop and selecting properties I get the following error:"Rundll32.exe - bad image" The application or DLL C:windowssystem32 hemeui.dll is not a valid windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette."This error began occcuring after installing new video drivers for my 128 DDR ATI Radeon 9700 TX video card. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers, and returning to an older set of drivers. No luck. While in safe mode I get the same error.On a potentially related note, attempting to access system performance settings from system properties also gives the same error.Otherwise everything else on my system appears to be working perfectly fine.
My task manager says a program called rundll32.exe is running, and I don't think that should be running in Windows XP, which is my operating system. It is not running on my wife's computer, which is also running Win XP. I have ran AVG free edition scans on my system both in regular windows and in safe mode, and it comes back virus free. I have also ran Panda on-line scan in windows but it also shows the computer to be virus free. Have an anti-trojan program on my machine, called The Cleaner, that also shows no infection. However, that rundll32.exe is in the taskbar and I don't believe it should be there. I am including a copy of my hijack this log if it will be of any assistance.
I just got hit by a virus, it's all gone now. But one thing, it still messed up rundll32.exe and userinit. I cannot log in without, having to press control+ alt+delete, file, newtask, explorer.exe
I need help repairing file c:windowssys32 undll32.exe. It appears everytime I try to open any programs. The message reads that the file is missing or corrupt.
Today I noticed 2 rundll32.exe files running in the Windows Task Manager. I have no idea what program is using them. I tried to end the processes but failed. Men usage is 4,344k and the other is using 3,980k I did the cmd tasklist thing and came up with this. Can anyone tell me if the files are okay or not?
i just got the "mywebsearch" malware on my comp, i used malwarebyte antimalware and its gone but now its say its missing rundll32 and i cant open control panel anymore, is there a way to fix it without reinstalling windows?
I got stuck with the Run32dll.exe virus. Noticed that IE was extremely slow and crashing constantly and task manager actually had 2 'Run32dll.exe' programs running and hogging up 100% cpu usage. I just did a Hijack this scan based on what I read from previous posts but I am not sure where to take it from here. I also noticed that something called 'SurfBuddy' is in there and have no idea where that came from. So if anyone can take a look at this Hijack This log and let me know what I should check off to be fixed that would be great. As you can see there are 4 run32dll.exe
I am unable to access anything in my Control Panel, I am getting the error message: Windows cannot find 'C:WINDOWSsystem32rundll32.exe'. make sure you typed the name correctly?
I ran a new tweak called Process Monitor, and the last statement on the "process tree" was "rundll32.exe" I looked on the internet and it said that this could possibly be a spyware tracking me, but it has a microsoft name applied to it. Can you tell me if I should delete this or not? It has 500 or so records (dll's I'm assuming) attached to it. When I run CCleaner, my firewall (kerio) asks that rundll32.exe wants to execute.
When i boot my desktop xp home... Get message box stating...rundll32.exe-entry point not found' inside box says '....msvcrt.dll... Not found in library...' i click ok, then new box says...' error loading p17rune.dll ' i click ok and all is well. I have downloaded drivers from nvidia.com
I recently just purchased norton 2006 to replace my 2003 edition.after uninstallin 2003, restarting, then attempting to install 2006, i got an error in the installation.i restarted my computer hoping that it would work the next time... well after i waited for it to restart, all my icons were blank on my desktop and i can't run any programs but firefox. The error states:"This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. create an association in the folder options in the control panel."
i did a virus scan today and had to delete 5 files which are infected with something called Trojan. i cannt really remember all the file names, but im sure 2 of them called rundll32.exe and notepad.exe.now i cant open anything. whatever i click on, it will show up with a big error sign, saying cant find the perspective exe. eg. if i open explorer, it will say it cannt find explorer.exe.
