The issue here is that the primary exe rundll32.exe is signed. Autoruns doesn't check command line args.

Recently I got my computer infected in some strange way - each time I restart it, my Internet Explorer home page gets replaced.
Autoruns with a "hide signed Micrsoft modules" option turned on did not show anything suspicios.
Although, when I turned the option off, the following line, which appeared as a legitimate under autoruns took my attention:
rundll32.exe advpack.dll,LaunchINFSection gv_inst.inf, Section
the inf file contained a code to set a home page. It could also easily contain some instructions to copy and replace files etc.
Maybe the newer version of autoruns should filter those "signed" Microsoft entries.
