| Guest | Rundll32 error in IE Everytime I try to open a new webpage I get a dialog box asking me if I want to allow or not allow rundll32 to run. Is this normal (I never had this problem a few weeks ago and have not downloaded anything)? If not normal, how do I fix it? |

| Guest | Re: Rundll32 error in IE I have never heard of that. It sounds like a virus to me. rundll32 is used to run .dll files I would say no and check your computer for viruses.

| Guest | Re: Rundll32 error in IE Thanks for your reply. I have run Northan Antivirus (newest version) and it does not find anything. I also downloaded RegCure and once in awhile it will find a tracking cookie and I will have it fix it. Spybot always finds something, but I am able to fix those problems. Any other suggestions?

| Guest | Re: Rundll32 error in IE I did as you said and I still get the message. I'm sure it's a virus or malware, but not sure how to get rid of it since Spybot & Norton either one pick it up.

| Guest | Re: Rundll32 error in IE 1.. Open Internet Explorer 7. 2.. From the Internet Explorer 7 command bar, choose Tools and then Internet Options. 3.. In the Internet Options window, click on the Security tab. 4.. Below the Security level for this zone area, and directly above the OK, Cancel, and Apply buttons, click the Reset all zones to default level button. 5.. Click OK on the Internet Options window. 6.. Close and then reopen Internet Explorer 7. 7.. Try again to visit the web sites that were causing your problems to see if resetting the Internet Explorer 7 security settings on your computer helped. -- All the best, SG Is your computer system ready for Vista? https://winqual.microsoft.com/hcl/ Want to keep up with the latest news from MS? http://news.google.com/nwshp?tab=wn&ned=us&topic=t Just type in Microsoft "richene416" <richene416@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:440C50B5-7534-4318-806B-33A581757B19@xxxxxx Quote: >I did as you said and I still get the message.

| Guest | Re: Rundll32 error in IE Still getting the pop-up window. Seems like this started when I subscribed & downloaded LimeWire. I tried to download a couple of things, and I think that's when all this started. Should I uninstall Limewire and anything that I have downloaded from that site?

| Guest | Re: Rundll32 error in IE First of all you are not being a pest and I hope we can find and fix your problem. I'm really not sure what LimeWire would have to do with your problem and the two options I gave you usually fixes it. If it were I and given what you have already tried I think I'd try a System Restore just before you installed LimeWire. It's appears something has intergraded into your IE settings and you may not be able to find it. Before you try System Restore you can try two more Spyware removal programs and see it one will pick it up. http://www.lavasoftusa.com/products/ad_aware_free.php Ad-Aware 2007 Free http://www.superantispyware.com/supe...freevspro.html SUPERAntiSpyware Free Both of these are excellent programs and I'd recommend keeping them both along with SpyBot S&D. -- All the best, SG Is your computer system ready for Vista? https://winqual.microsoft.com/hcl/ Want to keep up with the latest news from MS? http://news.google.com/nwshp?tab=wn&ned=us&topic=t Just type in Microsoft "richene416" <richene416@xxxxxx> wrote in message news  6C90090-492F-4121-AC3B-E9E8BF5B47E6@xxxxxxQuote: > Still getting the pop-up window.
