  • Enter rundll32.exe into the File: box.
  • Click on the Search button.
  • After a while a list of file locations will appear in the List of Files: box.

This will create a Notepad file named Export.txt located in the C:\ folder copy and paste it to your next post please.

Due to a lack of response, this topic is now closed.

If you still require help, please open a new thread in the Infected? Virus, malware, adware, ransomware, oh my! forum, include a fresh FRST log, and wait for a new helper.
