RPCSS.EXE and RUNDLL32.EXE 1

[javaguy1]

lately, Distributed COM Services(RPCSS.EXE) has been trying to access the internet. Run a DLL as an App(RUNDLL32.EXE) used to run at startup and would also try to access the internet. i have always blocked both of them because how can i know what program is actually using them?

Run Msconfig and that will tell you.

Use Spybot to get rid of the problem programs.

thanks, that fixed some other problems i was having. well after i reboot it will. still not sure what program sometimes wants to use RPCSS

there was one on my startup list called run_once.exe or something like that. i unchecked it and after i rebooted it was no longer on the list. dang i should have written it down. and i found out why i was having problems booting after some fool program tried to add to a path by creating an autoexec.bat for me. thanks
