Rundll.exe is part of Windows.
Updater.dll is not.

Try looking at the relevant Symantec site for your virus.

If it is only the entry at startup and you don't have the file, then
uncheck the entry in Msconfig.

(Start-Run-MSCONFIG-Startup tab)
If you cannot see anything in Msconfig then:

Start-Run-msinfo32
Click the + beside Software Environment to expand.
Click Startup Programs
Ctrl+A to Select All, Ctrl+C to Copy.
Paste that information in your message.
(and supply the name of the problem item)
