Problems With Rundll32.exe At Startup
Whenever i boot up my computer, rundll32.exe starts up under my user name and eats up a lot of my cpu. This happened before, I never fixed it and i even reformatted my desktop's hard drive to try to get rid of it. I think my rundll32.exe is infected with a virus.
heres a log of my hijackthis:

Your log is clean.

The only thing that loads up with rundll32.exe is the nVidia Graphics driver (which might explain why the problem persists after Windows reinstall). You could try to update the driver and see if the problem persists.

Cris.
i have the latest drivers but it's still a problem at startup0 -
Ok, then try another older version. Sometimes some drivers have problems, and the solution is to try different versions.
Start with the original driver, from the CD that came with your hardware.
