I need the help of someone smarter than I am on this. I am having an issue with my computer, and cannot figure out what is causing it. I'm not sure if it is malware related or not as I have run MalwareBytes, SpyBot, and AVG (all with the latest updates) and all come up clean. I have also run the system file checker (this is an XP Pro box btw). Here is the problem: Something is loading multiple instances of rundll32.exe. I hear the chord.wav file play, and when I look at the running processes a new instance of rundll32.exe will be running. I have tried closing all of my programs, and it still happens. I can kill all of the rundll32 process at night, and by the next morning there might be 15 or 20 instances running again. I have run HJT and I do not see anything that jumps out as fishy. I used SpyBot to track through the parents, and here is the process tree System->smss.exe->winlogin.exe->services.exe->svchost.exe->rundll32.exe. I also do not see anything fishy in the modules that are loaded by the rundll32 processes. I just cannot track down where these are getting loaded from. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!
