Recently I ran a scan of my comptuer and it came up with two infected files that were reported as viruses. The two files were zscrjdjl[1].cab and zscrjdjl.dll. I deleted these files. Then I noticed that I was getting a lot of pop-ups when I surfed the net. So I ran adware and deleted everything it found. Now every time I restart or shut down, I have to manually end rundll32.exe. I have no idea what to do. I've run more scans using Symantec Corporate Addition and it's not finding anymore infected files. Any help would be muchly appreciated.

Rundll32.exe is a service in WinXP.
Visit this site

and compare each actual process with Ctrl+Alt+Supr, Process tab.
You can know the vital services and, maybe, some spy or trojan process.

Probably what is happening is there is a .exe file in your background running and it cant find it possibly.

Try going to start run
type in msconfig

see what is in start up and untick it

untick each one till you find the culprit

i did accidently delete this thing called bridge. I think it was after that when it started making me manually end rundll32.exe. But the bridge thing is still in the startup thing. I see a lot of things that are checked, but I have no idea what to do. Do I just uncheck them one by one and then restart to see if it asks me to manually end rundll32.exe or what?

I just spent a whole day chasing porn problems on a computer at my company. CWShredder and Spybot got rid of much of it but there was still something I couldn't detect.

I found a 40K version of RUNDLL32.exe in the system root directory with a new date and being autorun on startup with no command parameters. This is not the built-in RUNDLL32.exe. I renamed this file and removed it from startup. All seems okay now.

I also found a suspicious (dated within the last couple of days) SYSAPP.exe in the windows SYSTEM directory. I renamed it.
