Hello Frank.. Do a file-search for "dluca" and "hot" on your system. Delete all occurences of matches for "dluca" and anything that resembles the words "hot action" in the name. You may discover, as I did, that as you delete one occurence of "dluca" and "hot action", the system might created another copy! But keep plugging at it. At the same time, I highly recommend you use AD-AWARE. That's the product that eventually removed the maleware hideing deep in the Registry and in other various directories on the system. Hope this helps. Let me know how it goes.
