Post a hijackthis log.

Does regedit and msconfig open?

But, I think u posted a log the other day

615613 2007-11-27 08:00:00 Umm i killed it and it has not come back, all that is taking CPU is the system idel process but thats ok . . i think . . .

Nope nothing else has opened up . . and CPU is between 2-7% on the graph now . . .

What would be causing the rundll32 . exe to go to high all of a sudden?

615616 2007-11-27 08:21:00 regedit and msconfig wont be in task manager theyre not running.

Go to start / run and type regedit, does it open. If it opens, close it again.

Do the same for msconfig

Whats the error, with Java?

WHAT version did you download?

You've got the new hijackthis 2.02

615617 2007-11-27 17:06:00 yip regedit and msconfig work, i have java 6, updata 2, i will try and up date it again.. password (5384)
615618 2007-11-27 19:10:00 Its the 4th option (after you click my link), click on it, then its the 1st option (13.93 mb).

You have to accept the licence first before you download it.

Uninstall 6 update 2 BEFORE you install update 3.
