Two instances of rundll32.exe [SOLVED]

General Topics
1

I did a lot of googleing this time and the results came up mixed so here I am. I noticed that I have two versions of rundll32 running in the task manager (one is the normal rundll32 and the other is rundll32*32 and leads to syswow) So I sent the odd one through Virus Total and it came up clean however the comments said it was clean and the reviews were extremely negative. After searching I also got conflicting results some saying it’s a normal process and others saying the only rundll32 is in System32. I’m confused so if you can help, thanks. Also for some extra info I’m running a 64 bit operating system and apparently syswow is used to run said 32bit files which makes me think this is normal however I really don’t know.

Alright thanks for the help Pondus. Sorry to bother you but just trying to keep my machine clean. Also do you know any good secondary scanners?

malwarebytes … PRO version is recomended, a one time fee for a lifetime license

MCShield USB protector. http://mcshield.net/

In this forum, it would be better to recommend a paid version of avast! :slight_smile:

Yes, Avast alongside with Malwarebytes is a good option. :smiley:
