Yea, it can be used to hide malware. But normally it is just a Windows application. If Malwarebytes was fine, then you should be.

so i was looking at my task manager and i noticed a program called rundll32 running. i know its a windows program thats necessary for dll files and such. anyway i have never seen it actually running before and i know its very vulnerable to attacks and hijacking. i want to know how i can tell if this is an actual issue. all i was doing was playing wow when i noticed it. malwarebytes and avg didn't notice anything wrong.
