When booting up the computer, at least 5 rundll32.exe start loading as processes, as reported by task manager.

They eat up my processing power, it is always at 100%, once I delete the processes I get to 1-5% processor usage.

And I have to do this every single time I boot up my computer.

How can I prevent these rundll32 from loading once and for all?

Thanks


 
looks like a virus. if memory serves me correctly the sircam virus utilized one of the rundll files. this should not happen as rundll32.exe is utilized to open shortcuts on your desktop or quick launch apps. make sure your virus definitions are updated and see if you have something going on in the background.
