Rundll32 consuming 97+% of CPU

by edbrunn . Updated 18 years ago

Periodically the rundll32.exe consumes most of my CPU processing resources. This occurs without any apparent reason; I notice it immediately when my machine (XP) comes to a crawl. The solution is to reboot. I run antivirus and spyware software and cannot find any problems when running these scans with the most recent definitions loaded for both.

Can anyone suggest how to fix this? I assume stopping this process via task mgr is not a good idea?
