Please help! Rundll using 99% of my CPU =(

edited August 2006 in Spyware & Virus Removal
Hi folks. Generally I've been able to handle most of the viruses/whatnot that I bump into, but this one is maddening.

Basically, my computer acts normally until I try to uninstall something. When I select uninstall (either via add/remove programs, or through the uninstall option that come with games), nothing happens and suddenly everything slows to a crawl.

At that point, rundll32.exe has just started up in my task manager, and is then using up 99% of my CPU =(.

On top of that, I fired up CommView and noticed that there is alot of information being sent to me from various unknown sources. They're all coming through port 55049. Here are some examples of the hostnames

c-71-233-145-61.hsd1.ma.comcast.net
cpe-67-9-167-31.austin.res.rr.com
a88-114-34-244.elisa-laajakaista.fi

Then, there is a bunch of information being sent OUT of my computer via http to these locations:

red.as-us.falkag.net
69-44-123-39.wcg.net
eqvaadvip4.doubleclick.net
www.myaffiliateprogram.com
www.globalspec.com

Whatever this bug is that I have, it's quite nasty =\. Oddly, rundll32 doesn't seem to need to be running for all this garbage to be coming and going out of my connection


I've tried various basic things- using ad aware, using spybot search and destroy, using registry booster to clear out junk, searching my directories for suspicious stuff. etc. And none of it has helped.

Here is my highjackthis log, followed by the DLL list for rundll32.exe, followed by the modules that it seems to be running.

Thank you very much in advance to anyone who might be able to help. I'm going out of town in a few days for work, and it would be a huge relief if I could sort this out before then.

    hi mtunick

    thank you for the reply. at this point since it was of utter importance that i have my comp fuctioning properly for work, i went ahead and did a fresh install of windows and reformatted my HD. i posted this problem on more than half a dozen help websites, and no one had any clue how to fix it. i tried pretty much every program, including ewido, all to no avail.

    i thought i had closed all my threads, but mustve missed this one. thanks for offering assistance, but case is closed i guess

    thanks again

    paul
