I get this quite often with Microsoft Outlook XP :( Do you get this everytime? I get it about 50% of the time, but then again, my machine stays on and logged in for days at a time usually.

I have this problem with mine. It happens with WOrd and hpcmpmgr.exe (which is some software from my HP PSC 2510). I subsribed to this group trying to find a way to stop it.

Does it sayRunDLL.exe or RunDLL32.exe? The difference is important; it may be an indicator of a possible hijacking. RunDLL32 is supposed to launch-and-release under XP. If it fails to release (keeps running), it usually indicates poorly written malware. See my article Dealing with Malware (in my signature, below) on downloading and using HijackThis. Post the log here, but don't fix anything until instructed on what to remove.
