How to Get Rid of Rundll32.exe


1. Right-click 'Start' and choose 'Explore' to open the Windows Explorer utility. Type 'rundll32.exe' into the search box in the Explorer's interface to locate all the files with that name.

3. Close the Explorer and return to the desktop. Right-click the 'Recycling Bin' and choose 'Empty' to permanently remove the malicious rundll32.exe files from your computer.
4. Close any other programs and restart the computer to save the changes to your system's configuration.
