I seem to have rundll32.exe running at all times, in the task manager. I haven't gotten any clear information why it's running all of the time. I suspect it could be a virus/trojan, but Housecall, McAfee, Norton, TrojanHunter, Trojan Remover, etc couldn't detect anything. rundll32.exe isn't taking up much K, just 200.
I also have 3 svchost.exe s running. 2 of them are taking up about 2,000K! Is this abnormal?

Hi Laura,

Yep, sounds normal.

If you want to find out which programs are using RunDLL32, then try this program:
ProcessExplorer (SysInternals)
Select the RunDLL32 process in the upper pane, and the lower pane will tell you more than you need to know about the files involved.
