What does the popup say? What OS are you running? Does your user have admin rights? Does it do it when uploading to other sites besides photobucket?

It happens when I'm simply attatching pictures to emails... Happens everytime I go to upload pictures or videos to any site/email.

This Program will open outside of Protected Mode. IE's Protected Mode helps protect your computer. If you do not trust this site, do not open this program.

It has a box to check for not showing this message again, but its never highlighted...

That would be correct sir. If you can locate the root folder that contains the file, you can them open the file in note pad. It should be exactly 31.5KB in size. Determining whether rundll32.exe is a virus or a legitimate Windows process depends on the directory location it executes or runs from. You can run a registry scan to determine where this file is running from. It is used by spyware, viruses, and worms as a back door agent to gain access to your machine for browsing history, password theft and other malicious acts.

I use spybot search & destroy. I know there are better programs out there, but it works, and it's free. Here's the link to it: http://www.download.com/Spybot-Searc...-10122137.html

Disable UAC in Vista and use Firefox for your web browser.

Give the man a cookie as he is correct. Vista is not as bad as everyone says it is, but the UAC can be a huge PITA!

Move to Firefox and you will be 10x happier with your browsing experience.

I wouldn't say Vista isn't as bad as everyone says it is. It is, it's a power eating *****.

GLC knows his **** by the way, he's helped me quite a few things.

It's good to see a thread like this every now and then. It reminds me of what I no longer have to put up with... Pop ups, viruses (or virii), DLLs. registries, Oh, just Windoze in general.

SuSE 10.3 is just free and trouble free, along with all the software you need.
