Hello All
Have a ibm laptop that is having some cpu resource probs.
The process rundll32.exe is using 100% cpu which is causing the system to
grind to a halt. I have scaned the system for virsus with a current virus
scanner and checked for some of the signs of virius's. Any idea's? It seems
there is a legit app that is using rundll32, something to do with wireless
networking. It doesn't use cpu at 100% all the time. Any idea's?

Regards
Michael
