Resolved Question

corrupt rundll32 staying corrupt

Dec 18, 2011 2:12AM PST

Hi,

I spent a couple of hours this morning fighting off a virus. With success, but the fix has corrupted a key file, rundll32.

I have had a search on the net and have tried copying the file into place in the appropriate folder. I have also copied it there from my windows startup disk. No good.

I can see the file in the folder, but it is not working.

It is a big issue as I am not able to run any programmes now, including instructions from the start-run command line. I can get on the net, that is about all.

Is there anyting obvious I am doing wrong?

Simon
