Hello breaklinedesign and welcome to TomCoyote. :wavey:


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

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 to make certain it has completely removed Peper.

5. Reboot to finish removing the entries.


I see that you have no Antivirus or Firewall on your computer. Please download the two free programs, install them and update immediately.

AVG AntiVirus
ZoneAlarm Firewall

Run a scan with AVG and have it fix anything found.
