    I've recently done a clean install of Windows 7 on my Alienware M18X R2. I've noticed lately that my mouse cursor will show the spinning cirlce constantly. It'll stop for a second, then run for a few seconds.

    I opened up task manager and notice that the spinning wheel coincides with rundll32.exe. I have one that stays permenently and the other will appear and dissappear. It shows no location name. For command line it says rundll32 BFCommon.dll, WSACycle. I've run MSE and Malwarebytes and both say my system is clean.

    Any idea why this is happening and how I can fix it?

    Thread can be closed....

    It was the Killer Network Manager. Uninstalled it and my problems have been resolved.
