Normal Windows process or trojan ?
I noticed the process rundll32.exe in my Task Manager the other day,so I look it up at the processlibrary.com database and it said that rundll.exe is a normal Windows process, but that it is also registered as the W32.Miroot.Worm/Trojan.How do I know which one it is ? Thanks in advance.

Re: Normal Windows process or trojan ?
if rundll32.exe is located in this C:\Windows\System32 location then its a legitimate windows file, in another then suspect a possible a virus, BUT DO NOT DELETE until confirmed otherwise windows will fail as this is a crucial system file.

Re: Normal Windows process or trojan ?
Thanks for your reply to my thread Halo. Besides C:\Windows\System32, I also found rundll32.exe in C:\Windows\ServicePackFiles\i386, C:\Windows\$NtServicePackUninstall$, and C:\I386. What do you think I should do with these ? Thanks again.

Nothing! They are all valid.
