rundll32.exe won't work

[esunadu]

I have been having a lot of problems w/ ME lately. My
control panel takes a really long time to load and when I
click internet options there is a pop up that says
rundll32.exe is not found and internet options does not
work. I've also had other pop ups lately when I turn my
computer on and off. Cncq file is not responding or
Yi9n7, but only sometimes. And sometimes my computer will
not shut off easily. There is a pop up that say task is
not responding. I click on end task a couple times and
then my computer shuts off. D you know what the problem
could be? Thanks

You may have a virus/spyware hijack

After using CWShredder (see Noel's post) you may also need to replace
control.exe and rundll32.exe with new copies.

Control.exe is contained in WIN_16.CAB and Rundll32.exe in WIN_17.CAB of the
Win Me cab set and can be restored using MSConfig | General | Extract File ...
and following the prompts. The "cab" files are in the Win9x folder on the Win
Me CD and/or in a sub-folder of Windows\Options. See MS KB129605 - "HOW TO:
Extract Original Compressed Windows Files"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=129605). Both files belong in your Windows
folder.
