thanks again Stu. I think its not an issue. As I scan fully system daily and nothing pops up. I guess that maybe the multiple instances are due to the add ons taht I use with the browser?

This may not pertain to NAV2008, but I notice taht sometimes  especially when I open my IE7 browser, my Norton connection log will show 3 or 4 intances of    c:windows\system32\rundll32.exe   accessing the internet. My defs are up todat. My full system scans (nightly) show nothing more than tracking cookies, and I periodically run a spybot and windows defender scan, none of which show any problems. Is it common sometimes to have 3 or 4 instances of this running?

Think of rundll32 as a framework for programs to have windows manage the usage of their libraries.  Do you have any add-ons enabled in IE?  That will more than likely point to where this is coming from.  It's definitely not unusual for rundll32 to access the internet.

Thanks Erik. One more point of clarity if you will? So its not uncommon for 4 to 5 instances to access the internet at the same time? Could that also be caused by tracking cookies?

all of these rundll32.exe things are in system 32 and my scans (as well as Spybot and Windows defender scans) show no infection of the system.

Not likely.  Just because something is attempting to access the internet does not mean that you have a threat, nor is this suspicious.  A tracking cooking will interact with tagging on a page usually and should not be associated with rundll32.  If you have a clean scan and there are no symptoms (I would not consider this a symptom), then you are likely clean.

Thanks Erik
