    Welcome to Major Geeks!

    If you do not have your Window CD and your rundll32.exe file is missing, you need to search your PC for another copy and the copy it into the C:\Windows\system32 folder. If you do not find a copy, see if you can borrow a CD from a friend that has the same version of Windows as you and copy it from the i386 folder. You final alternative is to reinstall but that is also difficult to do without a CD. Problems with rundll32.exe missing are not Malware Forum issues.

    However your PC does have malware. Please follow the instructions in the below link and attach the requested logs when you finish these instructions.
