Hi garyland,

Not all spyware. One Trojan, a few dialers and some orphaned entries.

Download and run this file to fix Peper Trojan:
http://home01.wxs.nl/~kleyn080/uninst.exe
double click on 'uninst.exe', let it run and terminate.
To delete all the associated files download the following tool:
http://www.mjc1.com/files/mo/drpeper.html
It will self extract to C:.
Find :
C:\drpeper\Find backup and Delete Peper files.vbs file and double click.
On the first prompt copy and paste:
BjfPoX4n.exe
And hit ok.
You will get a confirmation and proceed:
On the second, paste:
Tgr89m24.exe
And hit ok

It will find all the files, delete them and will make backups in the same folder.
It'll open a text file (Peper.txt) with the list of all files deleted.
Could you please post the content of that log file so we can check if no vital files were removed.

Then check the following items in HijackThis.
Close all windows except HijackThis and click Fix checked:
