Hello,

I am having problems removing Hotoffers.info. I also had a "Warning! your computer is in danger" desktop problem, but I believe I have handeled it by myself. I still keep recieving phony messages like "Error #317: click OK to install spyware remover"... I have kids that like to use the computer, so I'd really be grateful if anybody could help me remove this porn popups...

Here goes my hijackthis and my Silent Runners, if any are of help:
