Like many of you, I'm at my wits end here. Not only have I lost many precious Saturdays in reformatting my harddrive, but I fear confidential information is being compromised.

With little diagnostic help, I'm running Real Secure Desktop Protector 7.0, Symantec AV 8.0, Ad-Aware, and Spybot S&D, but something keeps hogging my CPU causing rundll32 to hover at 99% - forcing a power down. The other weird thing, not sure if it's related, is at random times, RealSecure Desktop protector just disables all configuration settings until I re-install. ISS bbs and phone support offers no help, but other net searches have mentioned these anti-PFW attacks. A call to IBM tech support told me to download Ad-Aware and Spybot S&D - (thanks :-/)


I update windows and definition files religiously (but still not on SP2).

Spybot S&D finds some DSO Exploits, and an Alexa related item.

After reading these wonderful forums, I went ahead and ran eScan AV Toolkit (4.4.7) and ran TrendMicro's online scan. eScan found two minor things and one error.

It's obvious this pain in the a@# is either on my external harddrive (where I've been backing up office files), or somewhere behind my router at home.

eScan's results:
Virus?
File C:\WINDOWS\system32\SBUtils\SBWebCtl.dll tagged as not-a-virus:AdWare.WindowEnhancer. No Action Taken.
File E:\IBM Laptop Backups\T23\Drivers Downloads\AGSetup0608.exe tagged as not-a-virus:Tool.Win32.Reboot. No Action Taken.

Error from log:
Sat Nov 27 17:07:53 2004 => ERROR!!! Invalid Entry \??\C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\TDIMSYS.SYS in SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\TDIMSYS...

Has anyone heard of or fixed these issues?

Desperately awaiting a word,
Frank

I have exactly the same problem!
 
I own an IBM Thinkpad T41p and occasionally rundll32.exe causes constant (!) 100% CPU-activity.

I have the exact same problem in a IBM T41 notebook with windows xp pro (service pack 2 installed)... can't find a solution yet... I'm keep rebooting the system from time to time when the rundll32.exe hangs. And sometimes I can't even shut down the notebook with the shutdown menu from windows, I have to power it down because the rundll32.exe refuses to unload from memory.

I had the same CPU usage problem with rundll32 on my T41 and XP SP2.
pwrmonit.dll is part of the power management utilities for IBM Thinkpads.
Updating to version 1.37a seemed to solve the issue:

Thanks !!!
 
At first, I just disabled the "battery maximiser". Now, I installed the new version and it worked fine.
 
thanks again.

This seems to be an IBM issue.  IBM sucks.  Trying the http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.do?lndocid=MIGR-44226 fix....

Thanks toaster.
The battery maximiser update fixed the problem. In case IBM scans any of this, you are terrible. I've called tech support, described the issue, the useless CSR told me I had spyware or malicious code.

My IBM T41 now runs without disruptions.

Hopefully this can save others some time.

Thanks for all the help...
M T41p as well and this thing has been a major headache...

In the past I would get the rundll going crazy randomly now I get it as soon as I boot up....
IBM update doesn't seem to work for me either as it just hangs when it tries to get a list of updates...


I will try the site manually thanks!

Has anyone had any further problems with the rundll32 exe after doing the battery maximiser update?

Had the same problem with a Thinkpad T41 of IBM, looked everywhere to solve the problem and have followed the above instructions; I hope it is now fixed!

I have the same problem and have a T41p running SP2. I updated the driver last August and it still runs amok If I disable it at startup using the MSCONFIG command, it seems to do the trick, but then I lose my power guage and menu. I wish IBM would get this fixed and use something other than Rundll32.exe. I will look for a new driver and see if it fixes it. I'm just glad to know I'm not the only one having this headache and wonder about a virus.

I had just encountered the same problem on my T41 starting roughly last week.  It is possible the event was triggered by me installing an IBM mini PCI Wifi card into my machine.  In any event, I down loaded both the power management pacth as described on this thread as well as the latest WiFi driver.  Problem seems to have gone way.

Hi, folks. I have an R50p, and had the same problem... intermittently. But now it has gotten so bad my machine is down to a crawl... moments even to switch between open windows. Horrible. At least it was. I linstalled the update toaster told us about, and now everything is spectacular. I have had my laptop up and running all day, and it is such a delight to see the Task Manager showing the System Idle Process soaking up 99% of the CPU cycles, rather than rundll32.exe. And the CPU usage running in single digits, instead of 100% (always).

Needless to say, my laptop is far perkier and more lively than it has been in months.

What a relief. In !!!!e of all the anti-virus and malware scans I had done, I was concerned that the real problem was some really insidious code (rootkit???) that was beyond the ability of all the diagnostic software I have access to.

Very glad (in some ways-) to find it was jus IBM. That's too harsh, I know- IBM has done a great job putting together some really nice systems... but, gosh, you know, I bought my laptop directly from IBM, and registerd it with them. I even bought the extended warranty. Don't you think they could have notified us about this problem and fix? Surely they realized, when they found the problem, how devastating it would be for so many of us? Couldn't they have dropped us an e-mail??? I was even concerned about applying any patches and updates for fear that whatever it was I had, would really screw things up and leave me with an unbootable machine.

Anyway, thanks everyone, and particulary toaster . You have made a big difference in the course of my day - for many, many days.

Thanks again. And 'thanks' to BullGuard for providing this forum.

Curt Clapper.

I too have a thinkpad model t41 and have experienced all the problems, as you have shared with us concerning the rundll32.exe and the Battery Maximizer for the last month or more. With the help of Toasters entry which got me on track of how to fix the problem.
The current Version update is 1.38. A key point is that you must uninstall the old Version you now have before you can install the Update, and I found a downloadable program that fits the Job. It is called the "Software Installer" on a LENOVO page, go to URL: http://www-307.ibm.com/pc/support/site.wss/document.... this will describe the program and how to download it.
As you will find, you have the option to Display, install or uninstall. My machine had Version 1.34 and now it has Version 1.38 and NO more failures.

I also have a thinkpad R50p with the same problem.

I sent my thinkpad to IBM to repair the DVD drive. Their fix was to reload the HD. When I got it back it had this problem described in this forum.  My DVD drive is still broke.  I called them and they said I had something corrupt and to reload the HD. I told them they had just reloaded the HD, but the tech guy would only say reload your computer. I reloaded not once but several times trying to fix this proble. This went on for many weeks. I kept googling until I finally found this forum. I appreciate so much you guys sharing the fix. It worked for me. I ran all day long Sunday without any problem. What a relief!!!

Just loading the new Battery MaxiMizer did not fix my problem. I had to use the "Software Installer" to get the new version 1.38 loaded. According to the "Software Installer" I had version 1.34 before.

You would think that IBM tech support would help you fix this problem since it is their software that is broke. They just would not listen to me.

This may surprise you folks, but I have what appears to be the same rundll32.exe CPU problem on my Dell Inspiron 8600 laptop. I found this forum when I Googled for a fix.

I now run Windows Task Manager all the time so I can see what's eating the CPU when it occurs (often daily). Mostly its rundll.exe and if I kill it sometimes all is OK (at least I can shutdown everything safely before a reboot) but at other times something else grabs the CPU, such as iexplore.exe, svchost.exe, vsmon.exe or whatever. At these times the only thing to do is power off & on.

I have also tried running Process Explorer instead of Task Manager (if you haven't tried it, download from http://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/sysinternals/bb896653.aspx ) and with this I can Suspend the offending rundll32.exe and continue working normally. When something doesn't respond it's because it needs rundll32 so then I do have to reboot.
