Hello just two days ago I've been having a trouble with my computer. I believe it may be been due to a virus, virtuemonde. I removed the virus with ESET NOD32 but I still have the Rundll.exe problem.
And I have read a previous post about this http://www.daniweb.com/forums/thread23758.html but we probably have different computers.
My HJT log is

Short summary and focused steps to finish a cleanup after the kind of rundll32 hangs shown in this thread. The symptom — rundll32 (or a Run/RunDLL operation) becoming “Not responding” at shutdown or when closing windows even after the malware binary is removed — is commonly caused by leftover persistence hooks: Run/RunOnce entries, Browser Helper Objects, scheduled COM/STS loaders and especially AppInit_DLLs that force DLLs into many processes. Those leftover references will still cause rundll32 to be invoked or to hang if the DLLs are missing or deadlocked. (learn.microsoft.com)

Practical order of work: boot to Safe Mode (F8), update and run a current on‑demand scanner (Malwarebytes Toolset/portable scanner is useful if the infected machine can’t download installers), and quarantine everything the scanner finds. If the machine blocks downloads, fetch the portable/offline scanner on a clean PC and copy it to USB before scanning the infected PC — this avoids the “download/extract” failures some people reported. (malwarebytes.com)

After scans, use Autoruns (Sysinternals) to inspect the Logon, Explorer, Internet Explorer and AppInit tabs. Autoruns shows Run keys, BHOs, AppInit DLLs, scheduled tasks and many other autostarts in one place; uncheck suspicious entries first (don’t delete immediately), reboot, and observe which change fixes the hang. Autoruns makes this audit much safer and repeatable. (learn.microsoft.com)

Back up the registry before you edit anything. Example: export the Windows/AppInit key, then clear the AppInit_DLLs or set LoadAppInit_DLLs to 0 using regedit (or restore the exported .reg if something breaks).

reg export "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows" backup_windows_key.reg

Always keep the backup file; use it to restore if needed. (learn.microsoft.com)

Finally, run System File Checker to repair any damaged system files (sfc /scannow), reboot and re-scan to confirm the machine is clean. If editing the registry or disabling an unknown BHO makes you uncomfortable, keep entries disabled (not deleted) and consult a cleaner or rescue-disk workflow — incorrect deletions can destabilize an XP install. (learn.microsoft.com)

Notes tied to this thread: ’s advice to re-scan with an up‑to‑date anti‑malware tool was correct; ’s removal of the main binary may have left registry hooks; ’s DDS suggestion and the portable-tool approach above are complementary; if downloads fail like described, use a clean machine to prepare portable tools.

You still have a hefty vundo infection there, JR.
==Please download Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware
from: http://www.majorgeeks.com/Malwarebytes_Anti-Malware_d5756.html
or: http://www.besttechie.net/tools/mbam-setup.exe
=Dclick that file, mbam-setup.exe, to install the application,
-ensure that it is set to update and start, else start it via the icon, and UPDATE it.
Select "Perform QUICK Scan", then click Scan; the application will guide you through the remaining steps.
ENSURE that EVERYTHING found has a CHECKMARK against it, then click Remove Selected.
If malware has been found [and removed] MBAM will automatically produce a log for you... do not click the Save Logfile button.
When it completes examine the log: if some files are listed as Delete on Reboot then restart your machine before continuing.
Post the Notepad log [it is also saved under Logs tab in MBAM].
Finally, a fresh hijackthis scan log, please.

Thank you very much for your reply gerbil, unfortunately I made you post that for no reason.. I totally forgot to bookmark this page and reply back since I found another way to get rid of the virus. I got Spybot S&D to work on my behalf. But thank you for your reply as it may be helpful to others.

Member Avatar for gerbil

That's fine. But I would run MBAM anyway.. some consider it more efficient than Spybot.
Cheers.

when i try to download the malware the same thing is happening to me still.... it says

ERROR
"C:\Documents and settings\Gannon\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5\CMUYCL7Z\mbam-setup[1].exe

The same type of thing happens when i try to do anything like extract files, open up controll panel, user accounts anything. Please help me! It's been this way for about 4 days and i've been searching but i still can't find a way to fix it.

-Thanks-

Please start a new thread for your problem and I or one of the other volunteers will be happy to help you.


When you do that, please do this:

-- Download DDS by sUBs and save it to your Desktop
-- If your AV has a script blocker, please disable it
-- DoubleClick on dds.scr to run the tool

* A command box will open, displaying added information for your reading pleasure while DDS completes its scan.
* Upon completion, a Dialog Box should open instructing you to save and post the TWO resulting logs.
Please post Attach.txt as an attachment to your post - there is no need to Zip it. If you don’t know how to post an attachment, please Copy&Paste it along with the DDS.txt scanlog.

Bset Luck :)
