>Sometimes virus's run with this same name. Have you ran your antivirus program
and spyware. That may be where your problem is.

rundll.exe is a Windows System process belonging to the Windows 95, 98 and ME range
of Microsoft Windows products. This is an important system process and should not
be terminated. NOTE: rundll.exe can also be the LOXOSCAM and Backdoor.SchoolBus.B
trojans depending on Operating System and file path; this is always a virus on Windows
XP and 2000 operating systems however. Both are a backdoor Trojan that allow hackers
to gain access to the computer. These program is a registered security risk and should
be removed immediately. If found on your system make sure that you have downloaded
the latest update for your antivirus application. Please consult the file path to
distinguish between this and the system process.If necessary...
Download, install, update and scan with the following:
AdAware SE
Spybot- Search and
Destory
CWShredder
Perform an online virus scan with one or all of the following:
HouseCall
Panda
ActiveScan
RAV AntiVirus Scan
Repeat all until cleaned, it may be necessary to repeat and RE-scan
with System
Restore Disabled in order to get the stubborn junk that hides there.
