I'm looking for help. I accidently dowloaded a trojan virus and it took down my Windows Vista Defender. I ended up starting up in Safe Mode and ran Norton virus scan and it ended up finding 9 different trojan viruses and removed them.
However, now when I boot my pc I get Windows Host Process (Rundll32) has stopped working. I have never received this message before.
Has the virus actually corrupted or damaged something?
Is there a way to recover or fix?
Additional Note: After receiving this error, I again booted in safe mode and again ran the virus scan and it ran clean.

Thanks for the advice. In the end, despite Norton's running clean, trojans were still lurking. Upon subsequent reboot, Windows Defender alerted me that Hiloti and Vundo were present. It really was a mess and many hours of research to figure out how to resolve. Nortons would seem to clean them, but reboot after reboot they would still come back despite turning off System Restore.
I'm guessing there were pieces that Norton's could not identify and remove. The end result was I downloaded 2 additional pieces of software to solve the issue. Thanks.
