I have been facing problem with Rundll32.exe (using Win2K prof.). It gets activated automatically every time I restart my system. Due to this file my system gets very slow and it becomes very hard to work on it. I have come to know that this is a Spy program which makes copy of itself.

Could you please suggest me how to get rid of this? And can I delete this file. Will the deletion harm my system?

Regards,

Ravi

/facepalm...

Rundll32 IS a windows file, run32dll is not.

Another site says it's a keylogger/trojan/bad program

Though.. I too am still looking for a fix.

Which anti virus do you use? Do you have anti spyware?

Win2k machines are tough to handle as they do not have the features of xp like msconfig
