You have a lot of problems the first to deal with is the peper trojan .

http://www.memorywatcher.com/uninst.exe

When you run the uninstaller, you MUST have an internet connection active for it to work.

Please run this twice with a reboot in between.

Important: Create a folder on the C: drive called C:\HJT.
You can do this by going to My Computer (Windows key+e) then double click on C: then right click and select New then Folder and name it HJT.
Unzip HijackThis into this folder. When you run HijackThis from this folder and have it "Fixed checked" it will create a backup file of modifications to use if restore is necessary.

Then run adaware and SpyBot in my signature ,check the how to setup and thne run both programs.then post a new hijackthis log .

I ran memorywatcher.com/uninst.exe, adaware, and spybot. Here is the second hijackthis log:

Please let me know about next step. Thank you.

Right off the bat, I see a few unwanted guests:

PGStub.exe
WHENUSEARCH
WAST (wast.exe)
AdRoar

You might need to use other utilities beside SpyBot, Ad Aware, and HJT to get rid of these, but I just don't have time to post links to the possible utilities right now. A google search for the items listed above should get you what you need.

Sorry for the lack of specific info, but if you look around the forums you'll see that we've been absolutely blasted with spyware-related issues lately. Don't worry though, caperjack will be along soon to get you all sorted out... :cheesy:

You really need to just copy & paste your log into the body of your post, I started doing your log but it is too difficult the way you have done it. Sorry. Have a look at the way everyone else here have posted their logs & do it the same way please. When someone attempts to do your log they have to copy the lines that need removing, but because of the scroll bars, it's not possible. (For me anyway)

you still don't have hijackthis in its own filder and i can't recommend any fixes until you do .And yes please just copy/paste the log into the post .

Next, download LSPfix here: http://www.cexx.org/lspfix.htm
Launch the application, and click the "I know what I'm doing" checkbox.
Check all instances of inetadpt.dll (and nothing else), and move them to the "Remove" pane.
Then click Finish.

I have a response all ready to post as soon as i see a new log and that you have unzipped hijack to a folder of its own ,thanks

Sorry about that, I made the hjt file, ran hjt, adaware and spybot. Here is the third hjt log.

This one is strange looking do you know what it is .
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Platform regs] C:\PROGRA~1\FLAWFO~1\Default Axis Five.exe

Now reboot into safe mode and delete the following files and folders .

c:\Program Files\AutoUpdate --Del folder

C:\WINDOWS\system32\pcs--- del folder

C:\PROGRA~1\WHENUS~1--- del folder

C:\WINDOWS\WAST---del folder

C:\WINDOWS\ARUpdate.exe--- del file

C:\DP-B23011805.EXE---del file

C:\ATIUPDATE2.EXE--del file


to delete the above files and folder you will need to do the following
go to

Show hidden files & folders

"Fix Checked"...Reboot to SAFE mode to delete files

How to start computer in safe mode

reboot computer and post a new log

Sorry to be such a pill. All of the HJT items fixed as instructed. In Safe Mode found only C:\WINDOWS\System32\pcs and C:\PROGRM~1. Both of these were deleted. Could not find Windows\Wast; windows\ARUpdate.exe; [email="DP_B@#011805.exe"]DP_B@#011805.exe[/email]; ATIUPDATE2.EXE or Program Files\AutoUpdate. A search did not find them either. Computer rebooted. 5th HJT log below. Thank you.

The ones that caperjack got you to fix are gone now, just a little cleaning up now.

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SystemTray] SysTray.Exe (this was added as a result of the ALADINZ.P virus)

Reboot & delete this folder if there=
C:\PROGRAM FILES\STARTFORD< this one

Go here for an on-line scan & set it to autoclean for you.

Thanks for the help Crunchie,
on this one I can't find anyone fixing it ,or anywhere that says what you are saying ===O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SystemTray] SysTray.Exe,


lastoria ,don't fix this one as suggested ,leave alone it is OK
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [SystemTray] SysTray.Exe

Definition =
This program runs the Windows System Tray, which is that part of the Task Bar where the Time is displayed. The System Tray is often used by other installed programs for their icons to be displayed in it.

Recommendation :
Leave untouched.

Here is the latest hjt log. Things seem much improved, thank you. Aboutblank still shows up, but that's all we've noticed for now. I appreciate your time.

Hello,

I was wondering Lastoria if you were running any anti-virus software, and a firewall. Your computer absorbed damage from this round, and am curious what you were thinking of doing for prevention. If you are not running Antivirus and a firewall, we should talk to help prevent future problems.

Yes, definitely good ideas; they'll help you avoid having to go through this again.

Also- as I've pointed out to others, you really do greatly lessen your risk of getting polluted by malware if you use a browser other than Internet Exploder.

Unless you really just can't live without IE, try Netscape, Opera, FireFox and the like instead. Those browsers are, for a few reasons, much less of an "open door" into your system than IE is.

Well thank you! We are running Symantec NAV Corporate Edition 8.1 set to scan daily. The infected computer is one of several that go through a Cisco 675 router. I am interested in switching browser to Mozilla on someone else's advice. Your thoughts? I've installed the anti-spyware stuff as instructed, so if there is more than can be done, I'll be anxious to hear. Thanks for the input!

Good morning! I haven't heard anything further since my last post. Does this mean I am finished with the process, or did I get forgotten? I reran spyblaster, adaware, spybot and hijack this. He is the latest hjt log:
