I have tried AdAware, SpyBot, Swat it, Panda SCan, Giant Anti Spyware and Still I have the Web Offer Bar option in my IE View Menu and I still get attempts of some spyware named MidAddle trying to re-install itself every five minutes!!! What is happening?

Something has to be hiding and allowing for re-install attempts!!

Here is my HijakThis Log file that I did while in SafeMode:

Anyone? This is driving me batty!! No spyware apps have been able to stop this!!! I have been in safe mode several times running these scan apps too.

You have the Peper Trojan. It is a very stubborn infection which requires a specific tool to remove. There are two tools available. Please follow these instructions in order:

1. Download Newuninst.exe.

2. Run it with an active internet connection.

3. Reboot to finish removing the entries it found.

4. Run the tool a second time (with an active internet connection).

5. Reboot to finish removing the entries it found.


The second tool which does not require Internet Access to Clean is:

1. Please Download PeperFix.exe,

2. Start the tool and click Find and Fix.

3. Reboot to finish removing what it found.

4. Run the tool a second time (again with an active internet connection).

5. Reboot to finish removing the entries.

Sorry you have been passed over.
If you still require help and have not post at another forum listed here ASAP members forums

Extract it from the zip file into a folder. Under "items to clear" click all. Then click "clear selected items"

Rescan with HJT and post a new log here using add reply.
