Rundll...indfokr.dll keeps poping up when I start my cpu. What is it, and can it be removed?

Hi,That is probably the result of malware so do an extremely thorough check and when the systemis clean see the next message to remove that error.If you need to check for malware here are my recommendations - these will allow you to doa thorough check and removal without ending up with a load of spyware programs runningresident which can cause as many issues as the malware and maybe harder to detect as thecause.No one program can be relied upon to detect and remove all malware. Added that often easyto detect malware is often accompanied by a much harder to detect and remove payload. Soits better to be overly thorough now than to pay the high price later. Check with these to anextreme overkill point and then run the cleanup only when you are very sure the system is clean.These can be done in Safe Mode - repeatedly tap F8 as you boot however you should also run them in regular Windows when you can.Download malwarebytes and scan with it, run MRT, and add Prevx to be sure it is gone.(If Rootkits run UnHackMe)Download - SAVE - go to where you put it - Right Click on it - RUN AS ADMINMalwarebytes - freehttp://www.malwarebytes.org/Run the Microsoft Malicious Removal Tool Start - type in Search box -> MRT find at top of list - Right Click on it - RUN AS ADMIN.You should be getting this tool and its updates via Windows Updates - if needed you candownload it here.Download - SAVE - go to where you put it - Right Click on it - RUN AS ADMIN(Then run MRT as above.)Microsoft Malicious Removal Tool - 32 bithttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=AD724AE0-E72D-4F54-9AB3-75B8EB148356&displaylang=enMicrosoft Malicious Removal Tool - 64 bithttp://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=585D2BDE-367F-495E-94E7-6349F4EFFC74&displaylang=enalso install Prevx to be sure it is all gone.
