I have run updated Spybot SD and fixed all problems, but cannot delete a Spyspotter program as it says "Could not open Install.log file". Task Manager will not stay open when I try to access it. My HijackThis log is below. Thanks in advance for your help.

You have a peper infection that we need to remove

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

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

This Peper removal tool only works if run twice. To complete each stage of the Peper removal you need to REBOOT to clear the peper infection each time you run the tool, or the infection will remain.

Please download and run Spybot Search & Destroy and AdAware. Then follow the instructions in the links below to run.

Spybot Tutorial

AdAware Tutorial

Please do an online scan,

Trend Micro http://housecall.trendmicro.com/housecall/start_corp.asp

Make sure that you choose "fix" or "clean".

Reboot and post a new HiJackThis lo

I Have completed your instructions. BTW, I have 5 user profiles on my computer so I ran your routines on each profile. I am not sure if that was necessary, but with each new profile, Spybot always needed tobe updated although no new problems were found with each sucessive run. With AdAware, whrn I ran on each profile it came up with problems to be fixed each time. Also, there were no viruses found with the housecall program. As for the peper process, I ran the memorywatcher unist.exe program twice from each user profile and rebooted after each run. My task manager will still not stay open when accessed and the spyspotter program remains on the computer,but below is the my new HiJackThis log for your review. I await further instructions and appreciate your quick response.

You will need to disable Teatimer or it will block the fixes tutorial here >>> http://russelltexas.com/malware/teatimer.htm

Please boot to safe mode (tap f8 while bios loads) then scan with hijackthis and put a check beside these lines and choose FIX.

Thanks. I have completed the next set of instructions. Below is my current log. I have not restored teatimer yet, but will need to do so. Everything seems to be working, but have not really tried, pending your further instructions.

No Issues at this time, other than to say thanks for your help, response time and professionalism. FYI, my donation to continue these services is on its way. :D

Glad we could help :)


If you dont have these three programs I would recommend that you get them. Spywareblaster, Spywareguard and IESPY AD. They will add 1000's of sites to your resticted zone and block some hijacks from happening. I also have a FREE FIREWALL and FREE ANTI VIRUS if you need one.

It is critical to have both a firewall and anti virus to protect your system.

Keep your system up to date and run Adaware & Spybot, once a week works, and hopefully you will be ok from here on. Both are available below.
