When would I know that my rundll32 is infected by virus and how to repair it?

Question

Whenever i open internet explorer, my computer automatically opens multiple windows for internet explorer, yet, only one displays a website and the rest displays nothing but "Action Cancelled". Before I encounter this my computer says "RUNDLL32 has stopped working". I guess my internet problem has something to do with the RUNDLL32. Please help me out. Thank you guys. I am using vista as of the moment.

Restart your PC in safe mode, and run a full scan with both.

While in safe mode, you may also want to have a look at your start up items by using msconfig.

Disable any you do not use.

After you reboot back to normal mode, download and install ccleaner to fix any registry problems and clean up old temp files.
