You should post your question on page one of the forum Rob. Below are my most recent 
suggestions for any Rundll32 errors. If this doesn't help, re-post as suggested...........

There is a variant of CWS that runs a Rundll32.vbe (script) file called CWS.Alfasearch. 

The updated CoolWebShredder should remove it though (be sure to 
use the CWS update option).

If you need a copy of this file, follow the simple instructions below
to replace it.
  • Download this copy of RUNDLL32.EXE. (Win98 & Win98 SE)
  • Go to the location you downloaded the file, right-click it and select COPY.
  • Next select Start/Run, type C:\WINDOWS in the 'Open' box and press enter.
  • Now right-click in the Windows folder that opened and select PASTE.
  • If prompted to overwrite the file, answer 'Y'....YES.
Running a free online Virus scan, followed by a SpyBot scan is also suggested: VIRUS 
SCAN
