RUNDLL32.EXE causing Spyware/Adware/Malware...
« on: November 04, 2005, 10:07:00 AM »
Hey, I was searching through the internet for an answer to my problem, and I tried everything to remove or fix the RUNDLL32.EXE that's causing all these windows pop up from nowhere and the only thing that has done it is unplugging the modem from my computer. But I want to use the internet so I tried Spyware Doctor, Lavasoft, Spyhunter, HiJackThis and a tool to remove the Worm32 from the file, but all without positive results. Now I have to deal with some windows that tell me that some dlls are missing like the khdus.dll (or something like that). My computer specs are these: Windows XP Professional, Pentium IV 1.7 GHz, 512 ram. The RUNDLL32.EXE appears in the system32 folder with a different icon that the other .exe file have and it's size is 32.5 kb exactly. What it does: I can see the RUNDLL32.EXE opens in the tasklist manager, then a popup opens from the EMOTICONS website (these guys are behind everything, I'm sure), and then I close both the rundll32.exe and the popup, but no matter what they reappear. I tried removing the file, for I read that in XP the rundll32.exe is useless, but another one is created 5 seconds later.
In HiJackThis I get this:

Note that in my task manager the RUNDLL32.EXE is running but HiJackThis doesn't seem to note this, it doen's appear in the running processes. Thanks a lot for the help it's really appreciated.
