There it is. I know a bunch of that has to be bad. Thanks for any help!

Hi there, you have several problems there so we will use a couple of automatic removal tools to start with, then remove what is left manually. But first, Adaware is waiting for a reboot, so please do that first to allow it to complete it's cleanup. Then:

Download the PeperFix.exe tool from here:

http://downloads.subratam.org/PeperFix.exe

Click on the PeperFix.exe to launch it.

Click the Find and Fix button.

It will scan the %Systemroot% folder and locate all the peper files. You will be prompted to reboot. Reboot and it will delete the peper files.
Ensure that you are online before starting the fix. Make sure to run the fix twice.
————————-
WinTools also needs to be removed so, follow this link for it's removal instructions here.
————————-
Once that is complete, download CWShredder from here & run it. Select the fix button & it will get rid of everything related to CoolWebSearch that is stored in it's database. Close ALL windows, including IE, before running CWShredder. Reboot.

To help prevent this from happening again, install the patches for the vulnerabilities that this hijacker exploits by going here for your critical updates.
————————-
Download & instal Spybot S&D from here Update it before scanning.
After the scan is complete, have spybot fix everything marked RED.
On the page that first opens when you start Spybot there is an option to immunise, you should do this. In the immunise section there is also a link to download Spywareblaster. This program will prevent the install of bad activex controls that it has knowledge of. Download that & you can keep it updated by selecting the same link that you use to download it.

Reboot after doing this & post another log please.

Sorry for the long delay, I've been kinda busy lately. Some of the stuff you suggested turned up to not find anything, like the Peperfix for example. Anyway, here is that log:

Thanks again for any help, my comp is incredibly slow. :(
Post #5
Hi. My apologies to you too for my tardy reply. My real world employment got in the way :) .

Your computer is still infected with both the CWS & Peper infections. Make certain that when running CWShredder that all windows are closed (folders too) & click fix. If that is how you did it then try again in safe mode. Instructions here.
Also, did you run the Peper fix twice & were you online at the time? You must be online. If that is the way you attempted the fix then you will have to remove it manually, if not, then please go through the process again.

See this link how: http://www.mjc1.com/files/peperpage/

Post a new hijack this log afterwards to clean up the rest.
Post #6
Tried what you said to do, however no go again. Peperfix just WILL NOT find anything, and the manual way said that some script wasn't availible anymore and to download some uninstall thingy that doesn't even work (it talks about it at the bottom of your link). Yeah, I was online too, I have a cable modem so I am always on. CWShredder didn't pick anything up either. I tried running both in Safe mode as well. Any suggestions, or is it time to reformat (hopes not :)) Thanks a ton Bert
Post #7
OK. No reformat just yet. I will get some advice from our experts here on the next step to take & post back. In the meantime, please post another log. HijackThis is now also updated to version 1.98. Please download that version & scan using that. Remove the old version if you run 1.98 from the same folder. Will not be long :) .
Post #8 last edited
Ok, I'm back already. Based on your last log, please do the following:
Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':

Reboot into safe mode following the instructions here & navigate to & delete the following if found:

C:\WINDOWS\TEMP contents of folder

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\VhkQi.exe file

Reboot normally after doing the above, then reboot a couple more times to see if Peper returns, then post a fresh log from version 1.98 please.
There is still more to do, but we are nearly there :) .

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

Try this scan as well.
Post #9
Will do, thanks a ton. I'll try to post on Monday or Tuesday, as I will be out of town until Sunday afternoon. Thanks again for all your help!

Click My Computer, then C:\
In the menu bar, File->New->Folder.
That will create a folder named New Folder, which you can rename to "HJT" or "HijackThis". Now you have C:\HJT\ folder. Put your HijackThis.exe there, and double click to run it.

Close all (browser) windows & rescan with hijackthis. When the scan is finished place a check in the box to the left of the following entries & click 'fix checked':
