Adware/Spyware...

I don't know why you are getting that error...

Now let's get rid of that peper trojan..

Download the Peper Uninstaller from here and save it -.
Double click on uninst.exe, let it run and terminate. (You must be online for the uninstall to be successful).

You may have to run it many times. The peper Trojan is stubborn, and does not go down without a fight. Run it until the following line no longer appears in your log:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [3PJN6WW2L8AG6D] C:\WINDOWS\System32\Oval63H.exe

Put a checkmark next to the following in HijackThis. Make sure all other windows and browsers are closed before clicking on “Fix Checked”

O4 - HKCU\..\Run: [Zo5nRQjpe] delsvr32.exe

Flush your temp folders to get rid of these:
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [jaseNJRxf] C:\documents and settings\nick saunders\local settings\temp\jaseNJRxf.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [VaxG6] C:\documents and settings\nick saunders\local settings\temp\VaxG6.exe

Post one more log, and hopefully the hijack will stay away. ;)

EDIT: A new development with this type of infection.

Quote:

Go to Start>Run and type regedit.

Press enter.

Navigate to:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\__NS_Service_3 (This may be different but will always start with __NS_Service)

If __NS_Service_3 exists , right click on it and choose delete from the menu.

Now navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\Root\LEGACY___NS_Service_3

If LEGACY___NS_Service_3
exists then right click on it and choose delete from the menu.

Reboot and post a last log :D

Thanks again for your help

The Trojan appears to have gone
The other O4 entry is fixed
The first two needed deleting in Safe mode but are gone now
The first registry key died fine the second refuses to delete in normal or safe mode

I will post log below
Thanks again

Nick

Still a couple of things to go:

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [jaseNJRxf] C:\documents and settings\nick saunders\local settings\temp\jaseNJRxf.exe
O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [VaxG6] C:\documents and settings\nick saunders\local settings\temp\VaxG6.exe

These two lines have to go..it is never good to have something running from your temp files, and is always suspicious, especially if you have been reboting. It may just be sloppy install programs, but regardless, they need to go.

Go to start, run, type cmd
Then type in the following:
del C:\documents and settings\nick saunders\local settings\temp\*.* /f

O4 - HKLM\..\Run: [Dsi] C:\WINDOWS\System32\dp-him.exe <-- this one causes popups. I can't remember which one t is associated with at the moment...I want to say BlazeFind, or porno dialer..anyway, it should go also.

O8 - Extra context menu item: Search with Freeserve - res://C:\PROGRA~1\FREESE~1\FSBar\FSBar.dll/VSearch.htm <-- this one will eventually hijack your start page to freeserve.com, and should be removed also.
