Don't you know that Companies/Corporations will put virused versions of their software on LimeWire, just to get rid of Program-pirates? You are, after all STEALING...

After you scan, you may have to put your Windows disk in and run the Windows repair program for your damaged rundll32.exe file, IF IT REALLY TRULY DAMAGED.
