rundll.exe

Every time I shut down it shows rundll.exe not responding, end now.
Any ideas?

 

Star is exactly right - there are viruses that drop that file in XP, it's not a valid XP file.

Make sure your AV is updated to the latest definitions.

 

I just got Avast so it is a good time to try it out .
Thanks

 

So far I found win32:kuang2 and win32:nimda[Drp]
I think they are left over form where I had panda installed.
2 was in system restore which i since turned off for now.

 

HI Vonnie i dont think those files had anything to do with Panda, unless Panda found them as Viruses and Quarantined them as they are in fact Viruses

That is what I meant about them being associated with Panda.
My Avast did find win32:kuang2 and repaired it so it seems.
The rundll.exe doesnt hang up anymore when I shut down.
And all seems to be ok. I am praying it is all ok now.
Thanks for the help

 

Does rundll.exe exist in windows 2000 also...

 

rundll.exe is a valid system file in 9x/ME only:
