rundll32.exe will not shut down
 

Hello!

I am new in case the post count didn't give it away :o

Anywho, the past couple days I have been having problems w/ my computer. When I shut it down rundll32.exe will not shut down and I have to do it manually in order to turn off my computer.

I have read other threads here and I think it won't shut down because of bridge.dll which I found when I used my Ad-aware however it was unable to delete the file. I have also ran Msconfig and couldnt find it either under startup.

Here is my scan from HijackThis, hopefully someone can help because this is very frustrating! Thank you! :cheesy:

Re: rundll32.exe will not shut down
 

hmmm, looked thru your log real quick right before I hit the sack, this is what I found

BIGFIX.EXE BigFix can automatically download and read technical support information provided by computer and software manufacturers and other technical support experts (published in the form of Fixlet® Messages) and can automatically check your computer for bugs, configuration conflicts, and security holes. Should only be started manually as it's a resource hog
* sure you want that starting every time?

launcher.exe Spyware component related to DownloadWare and found in Program FilesKFH


**tgcmd.exe See above. This part ensures the software is installed correctly (similar to an installation wizard) as reported by Cox. Regarded as spyware by some as it has the ability to retrieve user information. Whether it does so depends upon the provider. "tgcmdprovidersbc" is for SBC Yahoo DSL. One Toshiba user reports problems with hibernate on his laptop if disabled - hence the "U" recommendation **

**maybe that has something to do with it....
