Hello,
I have been getting the Rundll32.exe not responding on shutdown. I have read through other similar threads but can't seem to fix my problem. Here is my hijackthis log, any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Hello, Jared. Please start hijackthis again, click Scan, in the window that opens place checkmarks against all the entries listed below that still exist, and then press Fix Checked.
O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Configuring] rundll32.exe E:\WINDOWS\TEMP\1239968.dll,W
O20 - Winlogon Notify: avgrsstarter - avgrsstx.dll (file missing)
Done? Okay, delete this file:
E:\WINDOWS\TEMP\1239968.dll
Now get this tool, and use it regularly. Executable files should only run from temp locations during an application installation.. but good installers will then delete them. This one is malware.
==Get CCleaner from http://www.ccleaner.com/ - and install it in a new folder. You should keep this one for general use. I set the installation checkboxes only to open from the recycle bin. It's neater that way.
Now run CCleaner from the recycle bin rclick menu using its default settings [if you set up CCleaner as i suggested, rclicking the bin icon should give you the Open CCleaner option...].
If you have FireFox open the Applications tab and ensure at least that Cookies and Cache are checked.
Select the Cleaner icon, press Run Cleaner.
Run CCleaner in any other Accounts.
[To customize file cleaning select the options you wish to use via the Windows and Applications tabs ..]

Say how your sys is performing now.

That fixed it! Thank you very much for your help.
