Well, this incident happened a short while ago, and I got malware/viruses onto my computer.

Coincidently, this rundll process popped up the same time the malware and viruses started coming.

At first, I wouldn't notice the rundll32 until it started spreading and destroying my software and memory, eventually deleting my whole system 32 folder. I tried to delete it manually when I reformatted and after I put in my usb drive to install winrar, hamachi, and add my favorites but it wouldn't go away and would just reappear when I searched for it.

Is this a virus of just something that was supposed to be there?

Also, after a few hours my regedit function and task manager function would be disabled by the administrator even though I am the only person using this computer.

Also, this is a ss after I deleted the pf's but it came back

I think it's supposed to be there.. weird.
For me it appeared only at moments when my laptop or my computer were running through problems..

Yeah, but like after a few hours now my the run dll thing appears and then a whole lot of malware appears :/ and I think the rundlll is a virus.

RunDll is a vital system process whose name is usually used by malware to trick the user.

Get this.
Install, run a scan. Copy the logfile that appears in notepad [as log.txt or similar]
Go here. Paste it. Let it load. Scroll down and check what it has to say about certain registry keys. 'Fix' all those marked as 'bad'

C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsivs.exe

It found this unknown thing.

Fix whatever is marked as 'bad'.
Unknown, do at your whim.

Reboot.
