Default Re: rundll32.exe

this one looks like the legit ms process. rt click on that file to check its properties. to be still safe get it checked at http://virusscan.jotti.org/ .

your problem seemd to be something else. pls clarify problem as i have not understood your balance problem correctly: on starting WHAT do u get message saying internet explore could not find web you are looking for?

maybe due to your your IE's internet zone-security settings, ads are being blocked.
