    It sounds as if the virus has been moved/deleted and is still trying to run...

    Disable system restore, then reboot into safemode and do a bunch of scans...

    Start > right click my computer > properties > system restore > tick the box to disable > restart into safemode > f8 on bootup to get into safemode.

    You can try running a restore from the windows installation media. Boot the media and press R to enter the recovery console. Make sure rundll32.exe is actually gone. Copy rundll32.exe from the installation media to the appropriate location on your system, reboot.
