Re: Error SHPRRPRT.DLL

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Hi Ramesh

I too have received a friend's PC that is doing similar. On launching
Windows Explorer (Windows key + E, or via any route) I get the the same error
message as JA noted below on opening his Internet Explorer. I had already
found the link to the Hotbar and followed the Trend instruction for removing
all traces of it. However, the problem persists. Is it likely that
explorer.exe has been "modified" by this Adware software so that it is
requiring a function from the shprrprt.dll that for whatever reason is now
failing. It is basically is making the PC fairly unusable as Control Panel no
longer works too. I have had to disable all automatic program starting on PC
startup at the moment otherwise the PC locks up when it starts launching the
programs, pressumably because one tries to use something that is failing
?Curiously, by manually opening something like Microsoft WORD and using file
open, then it is possible to "explorer" the various drives and directories.
Should we be replacing explorer.exe and if so where can it be obtained ?
