WinXP machine keeps running the rundll32.exe and slowing the machine down. Renamed this but it reappeared and still slowing down.

What is for and how do I stop it from causing this problem?

RUNDLL32 is just a wrapper for .DLL files to run as programs. The tricky part is trying to find out what program is using it.

Download AdAware (www.lavasoft.nu)to search for spyware and trojans. YOu MAY have been hacked and someone is using your PC thus using resources and slowing it down.

Do a google search for "taskinfo" download and install this program will let you see where your system resources are going.
