after examining my system32 folder, it has gotten me confused...
I have so many .dll files, im not sure which are bad, and which arent..
There was no folder as posted above, but i did yet find a rundll32.dll, and within even my processes, im somehow running 6 svchost.exe's..
Not sure whats going on, but tell me if 1,302 .dll files would be normal to just be lying in the system32 folder.

If I recall correctly svchost.exe is the background process for Norton Antivirus. It always has at least 2 running, and if you had an active scan or an update going, it could have more, or maybe you just have multiple images of the program running. In either case I wouldn't worry too much about svchost.
One thing that might help you, though, is this: Hit start, go to run, and type MSCONFIG. Go over to the tab for startup, and check/uncheck items as you see fit. Here are my processes that are run at startup, just for reference when you choose yours. qttask, and atipaxx. Atipaxx is the drivers for my ATI Radeon video card, and qttask is an updater of some kind, if I recall correctly. In any case, if you're suspicious of a process running on your computer, you can always end it and see what happens. Most of the time its dumb stuff, like updaters for software you don't even use.
