To start...I've done many removal processes to fix this issue I'll explain. I've done avg, adaware, spyware terminator, ccleaner, zone alarm...blah blah blah. Well, after doing those I have been able to track down a few minor viruses...which seemingly weren't my problem to begin with. My problem I'm trying to solve is rundll32 showing up as 2 processes under task manager when I close internet explorer. and not just when I close iexplorer...but when I delete temp files. I have aboslutely narrowed it down to this one thing...that when I delete temp files...rundll32 runs 2 instances of itself...or rather something else tells it to run. It equally works to bog down the cpu to %100. My temp fix has been to just simply not delete the temp files. Internet works just fine otherwise.

However..rundll32 is continually trying to access programs that I've recently accessed. I didn't catch on until a day ago. I have spyware terminator at the moment blocking it from accessing psr.exe(problem steps recorder). This has been a plague. When I checked out what rundll32 was trying to do...it said "clearmytracksbyprocess 8651"...and even stranger is that after a little bit I did a check again and it has a totally different number code...I'm completely lost. I'm convinced my only solution is to do a reinstall of windows 7. My question...is this able to be fixed?...or would my life just be so much simpler by doing another install. OR...is it possible to do a reinstall without removing my files...would be nice to not have to take out my stuff just to put it all back again. I welcome any ideas or direction to get this crap working straight again:)

I'm completely convinced its a glitch winthin windows 7. I've read so many stories about this retarded software doing whatever it wants after a random program install. I've recently added a couple small programs and one of them was Mega Manager...convienient since my problem is related to the internet and that program is 100% associated with it. I figured if windows 7 has been out this long this problem might have been seen often enough to have a guide to track it's source effectively. I'm probably wishfully thinking though. Oh well...[bleep] it. I'm removing my files and doing a full reinstall. Beats all the wasted time tracking down a registry fix when a fresh install does the same in half the time. Thanks for the help.
