Ok in the past couple of days, I have had pop-ups on the internet and my
computer has been running pretty slowly. My Symantec Anti-Virus kicked in and
told me it was Adware.Purityscan. So I proceeded to clean up my computer and
delete a couple of things.
My rundll32.exe file may have been deleted or infected because now whenever
I am in Control Panel and try to run any of the programs in it, I get an
Error Message saying:

Windows cannot find 'C:\WINDOWS\system\rundll32.exe'. Make sure you typed
the name correctly, and then try again. To search a file, click the Start
button, and then click Search.

So I can't even Access anything due to that error message.

Also when I try to turn on my Windows Security Alerts,System Restore, And
Right Click to go to Properties, it says the same thing.



If anyone can help I would really appreciate it!!

No, Now I know exactly that, that one file in particular was missing.
Anyways I got it fixed so its all good now.
Plus none of those links helped, thats why I asked the question that I did.
Thanks for the help anyways.
