    Peper Trojan Infection : help please (Resolved)

    On the advice of Daniel Owen I downloaded and ran PeperFix.exe on my Windows XP (home) machine. He suggested I post the resulting HijackThis Logfile at this forum to see if anyone could help.

    Logfile of HijackThis v1.98.2

    Dear Help

    I am trying to clear spy stuff from my machine and your hijackthis program shows that the startuplist includes:-

    C:\WINDOWS\System32\Kgnj8V3.exe
    and
    C:\WINDOWS\System32\Iop3SEV5.exe

    Looking at the properties of these two programs I see that they were both called Kern32.exe and both have an identical file size of 258048.

    Kern32 appears to be associated with bad stuff and I would appreciate your comments.

    Sincerely

    Henry Lee Nattrass

    Hello again,
    Could you boot into Safe Mode like you did before and run the Peper Removal Tool again. Then boot straight back into normal mode, and create a new Hijack This log. Then post it back here again.

    Thank you Owen.

    I have rerun PeperFix as requested and it reported zero files found. The first time I ran PeperFix (yesterday) the program reported that it had found ten (10) files.

    The Logfile of Hijack This follows:-

    ZxdXc.exe was related to Peper, I was ensuring it was properly gone. Obviously has, good news

    Fix this entry as well please. Close all browser windows, restart Hijack This and place a checkmark next to this entry and click Fix Checked:

    R1 - HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main,Search Bar = file://C:\WINDOWS\System32/left.html

    Then reboot and post a fresh log.

    How are things running?

    That log looks good now. Well done for removing everything

    You may want to read this info about protecting yourself from future problems and to prevent these pests returning. A firewall and antispyware protection (you can have more than just ASE) is crucial!:

    Preventing it returning

    After your problem has been resolved on the forum, it is an absoulute MUST to do the following steps to prevent the problem returning. Click on the link to get access to the software or webpage that I'm referring to.

    1. Visit Windows Update
    Pay a visit to Windows Update and scan for and download ALL Critical Updates and Service Packs. New updates are usually released monthly so check back to Windows Update every month.

    2. Download Antivirus Software-
    If you haven't already got Antivirus software, you should download and install AVG Antivirus. It is freeware and is updated nearly every 2 days (sometimes more frequently if there are a lot of new viruses) and in my opinion, is better than some Antivirus software such as Norton. Antivirus software will prevent viruses infecting your system and it is important that you update it every two days or every week at the most.

    3. Download a Firewall-
    If you haven't already got a firewall, it is Very important that you download one. Firewalls will prevent unauthorised access to your computer and stop data leaking out of your computer. You may think that it won't happen to you, but Hackers don't care who you are, what you do, where you live or what you had for tea last Sunday on your holiday in the Lake District, they want your data. Firewalls will keep these sneaks out and one of the best is Sygate Personal Firewall, which happens to be freeware.

    4. Spyware Scanners-
    It is important that as well as having real time spyware protection, you have a spyware scanning application. If you have not already been told to download one earlier in this thread, it is a good idea to download Spybot Search And Destroy and Ad-aware. They are both spyware scanners and will search for a remove spyware. It is recommended that you have both, because one will pick up entries that the other misses. It is even a good idea to download these if you have other programs such as ASE, Spysweeper, Pest Patrol, etc, because one spyware scanner will not pick up everything. Please remember to update your spyware scanners weekly/fortnightly.

    5. Prevent Spyware slipping through Internet Explorer-
    Quite a lot of spyware slips through Internet Explorer if your settings are not tight enough. Spyware Blaster will help you prevent spyware slipping through and installing tracking cookies. Simply run it via Start> Programs> Spyware Blaster and click Enable All Protection and it will protect you. It doesn't even have to be open! Remember to update weekly/fortnightly.

    6. Constant Spyware Protection-
    It is important to have constant spyware protection. Spyware Guard works like an antivirus program but detects Spyware instead. It will constantly protect your system. Check for updates monthly.

    All Of these steps are very important and it is HIGHLY recommended that you download all of the programs mentioned for your own safety. Remember to Update everything (including Windows using Windows Update)! It is also a good idea to perform weekly/fortnightly scans with Spybot S&D, Ad-aware and your antivirus software.

    And last of all, please remember, that common sense is your greatest tool. Without it, spyware and other related Malware would rule!

    I thank you for your pleasant, courteous and professional response to my request for help. My machine is running clean and well and I will follow the suggestions contained in your last post.

    I will continue to watch the DAL web pages and one day my growing PC experience may put me in the position to return some little help to others.
