I have two instances of rundll32.exe running in Task Manager. Both are located in the System 32 file. The size of hte files for both is 43.5 (44 on disk). One takes up 624 memory and the other takes up 760 memory.
Is this normal????
Thanks for the help!

It all depends on what is running on the machine at the time, but what you observe is not abnormal.

The rundll32.exe file is located in the folder C:\Windows\System32. In other cases, rundll32.exe is a virus, spyware, trojan or worm! Check this with Security Task Manager.

Virus with same name:
W32.Miroot.Worm - Symantec Corporation
Backdoor.Lastdoor - Symantec Corporation
Trojan.StartPage - Symantec Corporation

I have three instances of Rundll32.exe running on my computer. They are all listed as rundll32.exe. When I view the modules in Process Watch 2007 the first module in two of the rundll.exe instances is Rundll32.exe while in the third instance of rundll32.exe the first module is RUNDLL32.exe. Would that be a problem or should I not worry about it?
