Hey guys,
It seems I am having a little trouble with windows, I am running XP. When I try to shut down I get the error message that the RUNDLL32 file will not close down. Please tell me what I need to do to get the issue fixed!
Thanks,
Amanda

post you hijack this log and try running registry mechanic it will fix some problems in the registry itself. But make sure to post your HJT log here. Why did you name this "please read this hijack this log and advise" if you didnt post the log.

Hi. First of all you need to update hijackthis to version 1.98.2. Run hijackthis & go to *Config\Misc Tools\Check for update on-line*. If the site is down, go here. Remove the old version by opening the program, going to config\misc tools, then uninstall & exit. You then have to delete the file manually. Unzip the new version into the hijackthis folder.

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

C:\PROGRA~1\INTERN~1\tskmgr32.exe (please check the name of the folder & get back to me with the name. Delete that tskmgr32.exe file though)

Do a system search for all the other 04 entries I have listed & delete them too. They will likely be in either the Windows folder or the Windows\system32 folder.

In order to view these files you may have to select 'show hidden files/folders.' Instructions on how to here.

Reboot normally when done then rescan with hijackthis & post that log here.

Go here for an on-line scan & set it to autoclean for you.

Try this scan as well.
