BossWolf,

Hi! and welcome to the Daniweb forums.

===============

Download the Pocket KillBox
Unzip the file to your desktop.

Go offline until you have completed all the below.

Run Pocket Killbox and paste the full file path of the below file in the box and click on Standard File Kill and End Explorer Shell While Killing File. Click on the button with the red circle and an X in the middle after you enter the file.

C:\WINDOWS\System32\systr.dll

Reboot afterwards if the file is successfully deleted.

If the file is not deleted, do not reboot yet. Run Pocket Killbox again and paste the full file path in the box and click on Delete on Reboot. Next click on the button with the red circle and an X in the middle. You will get a message saying "File will be deleted on next reboot, Process and Reboot now?" Click "Yes" to reboot.

===============

Run HiJackThis and click "Scan", then check(tick) the following, if present:

R0 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Start Page = http://www.hotoffers.info/066/

Now, with all windows closed except HiJackThis, click "Fix checked".

===============

After rebooting your PC, post back a new log and let me know how everything goes.

Does not exist in that path? Try doing a system search for it and have hiiden files viewable. Every Hotoffers I have seen has come with that file so far.

The file systr.dll does not exist in my system.I have tried several searches but it has not found null.
It has found three files with a similar name: 1) C:\Windows\system32\systray.exe ; 2) C:\Windows\system32\dllcache\systray.exe ; 3) C:\!Submit\systray.exe

You should post a new log in case there is some final cleanup that should be done.
