rundll32.exe file

[sim133]

Hi all,
when I login into my computer the I can't run any application because the rundll32.exe process uses all my memory. I checked under the task manager it duplicated itself uses high memory usage. Does any one know how to fix this problem.
Thanks

Try your luck in Safe Mode, use Search and see what you find for "rundll32.exe".

You SHOULD have it in the System32 folder, a copy MAY be found in both old or current ServicePackFiles folders. You MAY also have a copy in the DllCache folder, anywhere else would be suspicious.

The version I have in SP2 is 5.1.2600.2180 the size is 33,280 bytes.
