Hey, i did a recent fresh install a week ago and i recently bought a dvb old school hauppauge nova-t usb tuner. Well the software isn't v.good because it rarely ever works! I wanted to uninstall the current software and install it again or an alternative. But i've come across something strange.

When i got to add/remove programs and click remove it pauses and my cpu usage goes to 100% by something called...
rundll32.exe - My name (not system in task manager processes)

i can choose to end the process and it will end... It only opens when i try to remove that program, any idea what is it? I've googled it and lots of people seem to have a variation of it.

I use adaware, spybot and nod 32 and none of them have detected it.

Any help would be great :)

Thanks!
 
I've ran that trend micro house call and it didn't find anything

"HouseCall did not find any potential threats on your computer- you can go on working reliably.

Keep it up and don't give the next attack a chance! "

Hmmmm...
 
Open up command prompt and type "tasklist /m /fi "IMAGENAME eq rundll32.exe" >C:\rundll32.txt" This will give you a txt file showing all the dlls rundll32 is using. Try to see if you can work out which one is giving you the problem.
 
thanks guys, i ran the original setup and it removed that program. Hopefully that is the end of it. I'll reinstall it on my next restart! :)

thnx for the link too
