that might be just somebody trying to connect to your wireless network (if you don't have a wireless network then probably is a virus) If you don't know what it is then you should not allow it.
here is some anti-virus things that you should get (free)
1. AVG Free
a. A simple interface (easier to use than Avast! and Avira)
b. Can detect about 82.82% of viruses
Cons: low virus detection
2. Avast!
a. Real-time protection
b. It has an option to delete a virus once found
c. Can detect about 87.46% of viruses.
Cons: Too many icons and confusing user interface
3. Avira AntiVir
a. It can detect malware better than Avast and AVG
b. It has an umbrella icon
c. Can detect about 94.26% of viruses
Cons: A very sluggish update
(i am using Avira AntiVir which i think works well)
(but the most popular is AVG Free

rundll32.exe is a process which executes DLL's and places their libraries into the memory, so they can be used more efficiently by applications. This program is important for the stable and secure running of your computer and should not be terminated.

i am not even very sure, but if you have a virus protector you should have your computer try to scan the file. if your computer is blocking it and if you got it from a random internet web site, you probably shouldnt allow it.
